Nibco PRESBV212 Lead Free Press Ball Valve 2.5 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRESBV212 is a 2.5-inch lead free press ball valve configured in a press x press end connection style. It is designed for use in pressurized water distribution and hydronic piping systems where a reliable shutoff is required. The press-style connections eliminate the need for soldering or threading, allowing for faster installation in tight spaces or where open flame is restricted. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this valve in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems where a 2.5-inch shutoff point is needed. The press x press configuration allows the valve to be installed quickly using a compatible press tool, making it a practical choice for systems where minimizing torch use is a priority. It is appropriate for cold and hot water supply lines as well as closed-loop heating circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line completely before installing or servicing this valve. A manufacturer-approved press tool and the correct jaw size for 2.5-inch connections are required to achieve a proper press joint. Do not use a torch or heat source on the press fittings, and inspect each pressed joint for full engagement before restoring system pressure.
