Designed for isolation and shut-off service in pressurized piping systems, it delivers a full-port flow path through a quarter-turn ball mechanism. The lead-free construction meets federal and state safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this valve type in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where press-fit connections are specified.
