Red-white Valve 5544AB 1/4 Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Brass

Product Description

The RED-WHITE VALVE 5544AB 1/4 is a 2-piece full port ball valve designed for fluid shutoff and flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems. The body is constructed from forged brass, offering solid corrosion resistance in both water and hydronic applications. The valve features a threaded end connection style for straightforward inline installation and is equipped with a lever handle for fast quarter-turn operation. PTFE softgoods provide a reliable, low-friction seat seal. At 1/4 inch nominal size, this valve suits small-diameter piping runs where a full port design is needed to minimize pressure drop.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, durable shutoff is required on 1/4 inch threaded pipe. Typical applications include supply lines, equipment isolation, and branch takeoffs in hydronic heating, compressed air, water distribution, and related mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this valve as an isolation or service valve in tight spaces where reliable shutoff is critical.

Key Features

• Forged brass body for durability and corrosion resistance in wet and hydronic environments
• Full port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• PTFE softgoods provide a low-friction, leak-resistant seat seal
• Threaded end connection for standard inline installation on 1/4 inch pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shutoff valve for 1/4 inch threaded pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system completely before installing or replacing this valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can stress the valve body or distort the seat.
