Value Collection 20227 Brass Ball 5/16 Inch Grade 200

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20227 is a Grade 200 brass ball used in fluid handling, valve assemblies, check valves, and precision mechanical applications. At 5/16 inch in diameter, this ball meets tight dimensional tolerances with a diameter deviation of 0.001 inches and a sphericity of 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for applications where sealing integrity and consistent geometry are critical. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and machinability. Hardness is rated at 75 to 87 on the Rockwell B scale, appropriate for moderate-pressure seating and flow-control duties. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals routinely use precision balls of this type in valve repair and assembly work.

This brass ball is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC valve assemblies, pneumatic controls, and general industrial machinery where a small-diameter, precision-ground ball seat or check component is required. The 5/16 inch diameter fits standard valve body bores calling for Grade 200 brass media. Sold in packages of 50, this item is well suited for shop stock, service van inventory, or production assembly use where multiple replacements may be needed during a service call or manufacturing run.

Key Features

• Grade 200 precision classification with tight dimensional tolerances
• Sphericity of 0.0002 inches for consistent seating and sealing performance
• Diameter deviation of 0.001 inches for accurate fit in standard valve bores
• Rockwell B hardness of 75 to 87 suits moderate-pressure valve and check applications
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance compatible with water, air, and light fluid media
• Package quantity of 50 supports bench stock and production-volume needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for valves, check assemblies, and mechanical devices requiring a 5/16 inch diameter Grade 200 brass ball.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or industrial mechanics during valve repair or assembly. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any valve body. Inspect the valve seat for scoring or wear before seating the new ball, as a damaged seat will prevent proper sealing regardless of ball grade. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines and manufacturer torque procedures when reassembling valve bodies.
