Red-white Valve 5065AB 1/2 Ball Valve 1/2 Inch Compression

Product Description

The RED-WHITE VALVE 5065AB 1/2 is a 2-piece, full port ball valve designed for isolation and flow control in plumbing and mechanical systems. Built with a brass body and NBR softgoods, it accepts 1/2 inch compression connections on both ends, making it well suited for copper tubing installations. The full port design minimizes flow restriction, keeping pressure drop low across the valve. An included handle provides manual quarter-turn operation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in residential and light commercial water distribution, hydronic heating, and general fluid service applications.

This valve is used wherever a reliable shutoff is needed on 1/2 inch compression piping. Typical install locations include supply lines to fixtures, appliance isolation points, and branch takeoffs in domestic water systems. The compression end style allows connection without soldering, making it practical for retrofits and service work in tight spaces. NBR seals provide compatibility with water and a range of common fluids encountered in plumbing trade work.

Key Features

• 2-piece brass body construction for durability in plumbing service
• Full port bore reduces flow restriction and pressure drop
• 1/2 inch compression end connections on both sides — no soldering required
• NBR softgoods provide reliable sealing for water and compatible fluid service
• Included handle allows quick quarter-turn open and close operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shutoff valve for 1/2 inch compression plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or local equivalent. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. Compression connections require proper tube preparation and squarely seated ferrules — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. After installation, slowly restore pressure and inspect all connections for leaks before returning the system to service.
