Value Collection 20228 Brass Ball 11/32 Inch Grade 200

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20228 is a Grade 200 brass ball used in precision mechanical, fluid handling, and valve applications. Measuring 11/32 inches in diameter, it is manufactured to tight tolerances with a diameter deviation of 0.001 inches and a sphericity of 0.0002 inches. The Rockwell B hardness range of 75 to 87 indicates a material suitable for moderate-load applications where corrosion resistance and machinability matter. Brass construction makes this ball a common choice in plumbing valves, check valves, flow-control assemblies, and instrumentation components. These balls are handled and installed by plumbers, pipefitters, machinists, and mechanical technicians working in commercial and industrial settings.

Grade 200 brass balls are used in ball valves, metering valves, hydraulic fittings, and float assemblies across residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems. Their corrosion resistance makes them well suited for water and low-pressure fluid service. They are also used in jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical assemblies where a uniform, close-tolerance spherical component is required. Sold in packages of 50, they are appropriate for service shops and contractors stocking replacement components for valve repair and assembly work.

Key Features

• 11/32 inch diameter with a diameter deviation of 0.001 inches for consistent fit in standard valve seats
• Sphericity of 0.0002 inches ensures uniform contact and reliable sealing performance
• Grade 200 classification meets established precision ball standards
• Rockwell B hardness of 75 to 87 provides wear resistance suitable for moderate-load valve service
• Brass material offers natural corrosion resistance in water and low-pressure fluid applications
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for bench stock and valve repair inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or assembly component for ball valves, check valves, float mechanisms, and precision mechanical assemblies requiring a close-tolerance 11/32 inch brass ball.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical technicians. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before disassembling any valve or fitting containing this ball. Inspect the mating seat for wear or scoring before installing a replacement ball, as seat damage will cause premature failure regardless of ball quality. Follow applicable IPC or ASME codes for the system type and service pressure.
