Parker XV500P-16 Brass Ball Valve 1 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The PARKER XV500P-16 is a standard manual ball valve designed for inline shutoff and flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The body is constructed from brass, offering corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid-handling applications. Both the seat and seals are made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which provides chemical compatibility and low-friction operation. The lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn shutoff, making it a practical choice for service technicians and installers who need reliable manual isolation in tight maintenance schedules.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 1-inch inline shutoff point is required. Typical installations include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and mechanical room piping. The FNPT x FNPT end connections make it compatible with standard threaded pipe configurations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC mechanics are the primary installers for this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing the valve. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads of the mating pipe before threading into the FNPT ports. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
