Value Collection 16895 Cpvc Union Ball Valve 1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16895 is a 1/2 inch Schedule 80 CPVC union ball valve designed for plastic piping systems in plumbing, chemical handling, and industrial fluid distribution applications. Constructed from CPVC, this valve resists corrosion and handles a broader temperature range than standard PVC components. The union design allows the valve body to be removed from the line without cutting pipe, making servicing and replacement straightforward. Female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on both sides allow direct makeup to threaded CPVC or compatible fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where Schedule 80 CPVC piping is specified. Common applications include hot and cold water distribution, chemical feed lines, and process piping where a full-port shutoff with in-line serviceability is required. The FIPT end connections mate with standard threaded CPVC fittings and pipe conforming to Schedule 80 dimensional standards. The union configuration is especially useful in tight mechanical rooms or equipment connections where periodic valve removal is anticipated.

Key Features

• CPVC construction provides corrosion resistance and elevated temperature tolerance versus standard PVC
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rating for higher pressure-rated piping systems
• Union body design allows in-line removal without cutting or disturbing adjacent pipe
• FIPT end connections on both ends for direct threaded makeup
• 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard half-inch CPVC piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any valve work. Apply CPVC-rated thread sealant or tape to all FIPT connections and avoid over-tightening, which can crack CPVC fittings. Confirm the valve body orientation and flow direction before completing the union connection.
