Nibco PC-585-80-LF-NS Full Port Press Ball Valve

Product Description

The NIBCO PC-585-80-LF-NS is a full-port press-to-connect ball valve manufactured from lead-free HydraPure Performance Bronze, a dezincification-resistant alloy. It uses press-fit copper end connections with an inboard bead and EPDM O-ring to create a permanent, watertight seal without flame, solder, or flux. A press-fit tool compresses the O-ring directly onto the copper tube in seconds. When properly crimped, a unique N witness mark becomes visible on the fitting, confirming a complete press. This valve is built for systems that deliver water for human consumption, meeting lead-free material requirements for potable water service.

The PC-585-80-LF-NS is designed for residential and commercial plumbing applications where copper-to-copper connections are required. It is well-suited for new construction and retrofit work where open-flame soldering is prohibited or impractical, including occupied buildings, tight spaces, and areas near flammable materials. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve as part of the NIBCO Press System, which includes a full range of compatible copper fittings, bronze valves, pressing tools, jaws, and chains.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with press-fit copper joining systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installation. Use only a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for this connection size and system. Do not apply heat to the valve body or fittings at any point during or after the press operation.
