Sharkbite/cash Acme 60009B Gas Ball Valve 1/2 Fip 175 Psi

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 60009B is a brass lever handle gas ball valve designed for inline shutoff service on LP gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and air mixture lines. Rated to 175 psi, this valve features a full-port ball design operated by a quarter-turn lever handle for fast, positive shutoff. Constructed entirely of brass, it provides corrosion resistance and a durable, leak-resistant connection suitable for demanding gas service environments. Both end connections are 1/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded, making it straightforward to integrate into existing threaded piping systems. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping applications where LP gas or propane is the fuel source. The inline configuration connects two pipes running in the same direction, making it appropriate for branch or mainline shutoff points in propane distribution systems, gas appliance supply lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure gas service installations. It is sold in a package quantity of 6 units, which suits contractors stocking for multiple service calls or project installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the meter or upstream shutoff before beginning any work, and verify the line is fully depressurized before removing or installing the valve. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded connections. After installation, pressure-test all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
