It features a brass body and brass needle, with a compression inlet connection on the 3\/8-inch tube side and a 1\/4-inch NPTF male pipe outlet. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, this valve handles temperatures from -45 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing service applications. Overall length is 1.78 inches and overall height is 1.53 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters typically install this valve where fine flow adjustment is required at a connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve fits inline service and instrumentation applications where a compression tube meets a threaded male pipe fitting. Common install scenarios include refrigeration line service ports, instrument isolation, and fluid control in light commercial or residential HVAC systems. The 1\/4-inch NPTF thread ensures a pressure-tight seal with standard tapered pipe fittings. The compact overall dimensions make it suitable for tight-space installations in equipment cabinets and utility chases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight configuration with compression-to-male-pipe end connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body and brass needle for corrosion resistance in fluid and refrigerant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -45 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch NPTF threaded outlet for a pressure-tight tapered pipe seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact build: 1.78 inches OAL, 1.53 inches OAH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service valve for systems using 3\/8-inch OD compression tubing with a 1\/4-inch male NPTF pipe connection, typical of residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing the valve.
