Value Collection 16897 Cpvc Union Ball Valve 1 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16897 is a 1-inch CPVC union ball valve designed for use in Schedule 80 piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) ends on both sides and a union-style body that allows the valve to be removed from the line without cutting pipe. CPVC construction makes it suitable for hot and cold water service as well as many industrial fluid applications where metal valves may not be appropriate. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this valve in commercial and residential systems requiring chemical resistance and pressure-rated performance.

This valve is suited for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, and chemical distribution applications. The union design simplifies maintenance and valve replacement in tight spaces, making it a practical choice for mechanical rooms, water treatment installations, and fluid handling systems where periodic serviceability is a priority.

Key Features

• CPVC body provides resistance to corrosion and many industrial chemicals
• Union-style construction allows in-line removal without cutting pipe
• FIPT ends on both sides for threaded Schedule 80 CPVC connections
• Schedule 80 rated for higher pressure and temperature service than Schedule 40
• Single-piece valve and union assembly for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 1-inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems with FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC threaded fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before beginning work. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape on FIPT connections — do not use petroleum-based pipe dope, which can degrade CPVC. Support the piping on both sides of the valve to prevent stress on the union joint during and after installation.
