Built in a 1-piece bronze body with stainless steel trim, this 2-inch reduced-port valve features a locking lever handle and female NPT connections on both ends. It carries a maximum working pressure of 1500 psi and a maximum working temperature of 400 degrees F, making it suitable for high-pressure liquid and gas service lines. The seat material is reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which provides chemical resistance and a reliable bubble-tight shutoff. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is designed for 2-inch pipe systems in commercial, industrial, and mechanical room installations where a fire safe shutoff is required. The reduced-port configuration keeps the valve compact and cost-effective in systems where full-bore flow is not necessary. The locking lever handle allows the valve position to be secured in the open or closed position, which is useful in regulated or tamper-sensitive environments. FNPT x FNPT end connections make it straightforward to thread into existing iron or steel pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire safe design suitable for high-pressure and elevated-temperature service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1500 psi maximum working pressure at rated temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working temperature of 400 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seat for chemical resistance and positive shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking lever handle prevents unintended valve actuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-piece bronze body with stainless steel trim for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSS SP-110 compliant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fire safe ball valve for 2-inch FNPT pipe systems in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads per standard practice, and do not overtighten threaded connections to avoid damaging the valve body. Verify flow direction and handle orientation before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSS SP-110 Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.646 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NL944KDP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542477439282,"sku":"NL944KDP","price":359.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a43f10ffd3ad8066c4ca2beddab0afaa_82f79228-136a-4130-bd4e-f15b6536c2e8.jpg?v=1785901364","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nl944kdp-fire-safe-ball-valve-2-in-reduced-port","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
