Value Collection 6Q218Q25 Full Port Ball Valve 1 in Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6Q218Q25 is a 2-piece, full port manual ball valve designed for 1-inch pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid control applications. The body is constructed from 316 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends allow direct threaded installation without additional adapters. The lever handle gives the technician a clear open/closed visual indicator and requires no tools for quarter-turn operation. PTFE seals and seats provide low-friction performance and chemical compatibility across a broad range of fluids. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics are the primary installers.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, cooling lines, and general fluid isolation tasks where a full port design is required to minimize pressure drop. The full port bore matches the inside diameter of the pipe, keeping flow restriction low. The stainless steel 316 construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive media, treated water systems, and outdoor or wet environments where carbon steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive service
• Full port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for standard threaded pipe installation
• PTFE seats and seals for low friction and broad chemical compatibility
• Lever handle provides quarter-turn operation with clear open/closed indication
• 2-piece body construction allows disassembly for service or seat replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, hydronic, and HVAC fluid control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any valve. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being mated to the FNPT connections, not inside the valve ports. Confirm flow direction and valve position before returning the system to service.
