The valve body is constructed from brass and uses a wedge-style handle for quick quarter-turn open and close operation. The ball seal is made from reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which provides chemical resistance and a reliable shutoff across a wide range of fluid and gas service applications. This valve is well-suited for installation in tight spaces where standard full-size valves cannot be accommodated. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe fitters working on control lines, instrumentation tubing, and small-diameter process piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 731001 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, manually operated shutoff is required on a 1\/4-inch FNPT line. Typical install scenarios include refrigeration service ports, pneumatic control lines, instrument isolation, and similar small-bore piping configurations. The FNPT x FNPT end connection allows it to thread directly onto male NPT fittings without additional adapters in most installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiniature ball valve design fits 1\/4-inch pipe applications with limited clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body construction for durability in fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE ball seal provides chemical resistance and positive shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections for direct thread-in installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedge handle enables quick quarter-turn operation and clear open\/closed indication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation miniature ball valve for 1\/4-inch FNPT pipe connections in refrigeration, HVAC, pneumatic, and instrumentation piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads per standard practice and applicable plumbing or mechanical codes. Do not overtighten the FNPT connections, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Miniature Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 731001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541376958770,"sku":"731001","price":46.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d05fd0c1c6b814b60e47668ae658d8c0.jpg?v=1785874077","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-731001-miniature-manual-ball-valve-1-4-in-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
