Nibco PC-585-80-LF-NS-2 Lead Free Press Ball Valve

Product Description

The NIBCO PC-585-80-LF-NS-2 is a lead-free bronze ball valve built for the NIBCO Press System, designed for installations in potable water and human consumption applications. It uses press-end connections on both sides, eliminating the need for soldering or threading during installation. The valve is manufactured from HydraPure Performance Bronze to meet lead-free compliance requirements. A distinctive "N" witness mark becomes visible on the fitting once the connection is properly crimped, providing a quick visual confirmation that the joint is complete. Licensed plumbers working on commercial and residential potable water systems will find this valve well suited to fast, reliable shutoff service.

This ball valve is intended for use in copper press piping systems at a nominal size of 2 inches with press x press end connections. It is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where lead-free components are required, including domestic water supply and distribution lines. The press connection design makes it a practical choice for retrofit and new construction jobs where open-flame soldering is restricted or impractical.
