Built with a carbon steel body and stainless steel trim, it handles demanding service conditions where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are both required. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve. A locking lever handle prevents accidental operation and is suited for applications where tamper resistance or lockout\/tagout procedures are in force. The seat material is reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which provides reliable sealing across a wide range of fluid types. This valve is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on hydronic, compressed air, or general fluid service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications requiring a compact 3\/8 inch full-port shutoff. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded installation into standard pipe runs without additional adapters. The 3-piece body construction allows the valve to be removed from the line for service or seat replacement without cutting the pipe. Typical installation scenarios include hydronic heating systems, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose liquid service lines where positive shutoff and occasional lockout capability are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel body provides high mechanical strength for demanding service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel trim resists corrosion in wet or chemically active service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seats deliver durable, low-friction sealing across a broad range of fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking lever handle supports lockout\/tagout (LOTO) compliance and prevents accidental actuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-piece body construction allows in-line servicing without cutting the pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 3\/8 inch FNPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic, and compressed air 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 ASME B31 piping standards. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per standard practice, being careful not to over-apply material that could enter the valve body. Verify flow direction and handle orientation before final tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\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\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 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: NL99J55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543673372978,"sku":"NL99J55","price":125.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a52bd48d3cce8acbb7f5070c073da7fb_befe6d23-6bdd-4afd-9101-487c1b2ca9a1.jpg?v=1785921337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nl99j55-ball-valve-3-8-in-full-port-fnpt-carbon-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
