Value Collection 6Q11008 Manual Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6Q11008 is a 1-piece manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch NPT pipe connections. It provides reliable on/off flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. The valve body is constructed from carbon steel with a stainless steel grade 316 ball, making it suitable for use in systems where corrosion resistance and mechanical durability are both required. A reinforced PTFE seat and seal package ensures a low-friction, tight shutoff. The lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation and immediate visual confirmation of valve position. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

This ball valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where a 1/4 inch NPT threaded connection is specified. Typical applications include branch line isolation, equipment service valves, and instrument isolation in gas or liquid service lines. The NPT end connection is compatible with standard tapered pipe thread fittings found throughout domestic plumbing and HVAC distribution systems. Its compact 1-piece body keeps the installation footprint small in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

This valve should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as appropriate to the service. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line fully before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Apply thread sealant or tape to NPT threads per standard practice, and do not overtighten, as this can crack the valve body or distort the seat. Confirm full open and full closed operation before returning the system to service.
