Ts Brass BL-4000-01M(12) Gas Ball Valve 3/8 in Npt

Product Description

The TS BRASS BL-4000-01M(12) is a gas hose cock ball valve designed for shutoff and flow control in gas, air, and vacuum service lines. The valve features a 3/8 inch NPT male inlet connection and uses a quarter-turn ball mechanism for fast, positive shutoff. This type of valve is a standard component in commercial and light industrial gas distribution systems, installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters wherever a reliable inline shutoff point is required.

This ball valve is suited for applications involving natural gas, LP gas, compressed air, and vacuum lines in both commercial kitchen and industrial service environments. The GAS-AIR-VAC service rating makes it a versatile choice for multi-media installations where a single valve type must serve across different line media. Typical install scenarios include equipment branch lines, appliance connections, and service drops requiring an accessible manual shutoff.

Key Features

• Quarter-turn ball valve design for fast, positive shutoff
• 3/8 inch NPT male inlet for standard threaded pipe connections
• Rated for gas, air, and vacuum (GAS-AIR-VAC) service
• Hose cock body style suited for appliance and equipment branch lines
• Compact form factor for installations with limited clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for gas, air, and vacuum service lines using 3/8 inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the main gas or air supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any valve. Apply an approved thread sealant rated for gas service to all NPT connections — do not use standard pipe dope on gas lines unless the product is specifically rated for gas. After installation, pressure-test the joint and check for leaks before returning the system to service.
