Value Collection 107-823NL Packing Gland Ball Valve 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 107-823NL is a packing gland manual ball valve designed for 1/2-inch IPS pipe connections in plumbing and fluid-control applications. The full-port design maintains maximum flow by keeping the bore opening equal to the pipe's inner diameter, reducing pressure drop across the valve. The brass body and brass seat offer solid corrosion resistance for water, light hydrocarbon, and general-purpose piping systems. A lever handle provides quick quarter-turn on/off operation, making it practical in tight service spaces. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit situations.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a compact, reliable shutoff is needed on 1/2-inch IPS lines. Common installation scenarios include supply line isolation, boiler feed lines, distribution manifolds, and general water service shutoff points. The IPS end connection makes it compatible with standard threaded pipe assemblies. The overall dimensions measure 5 inches in length, 2.75 inches in width, and 1.88 inches in height, fitting in confined mechanical spaces typical of residential installations.

Key Features

• Full-port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install manual shutoff valve for 1/2-inch IPS threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male IPS threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; follow standard trade practice for brass fittings to avoid damage to the valve body.
