Parker BD-XV500P8-04-1 Manual Ball Valve 1/2 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER BD-XV500P8-04-1 is a standard manual ball valve designed for use in fluid and gas control applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping systems. It features a 1/2 inch NPT end connection, a brass body, and a reinforced Teflon seat for reliable sealing and corrosion resistance. The tee-style handle provides a secure grip for quick quarter-turn operation. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this valve in both service and shut-off roles throughout commercial and residential systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, manually operated shut-off is required on 1/2 inch NPT-threaded piping. Typical applications include hydronic heating systems, refrigerant line service ports, domestic water supply branches, and compressed air distribution lines. The NPT threading makes it compatible with standard pipe fittings used throughout trade work in North America.
