Value Collection 9912030085 Miniature Ball Valve 1/2 in Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9912030085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/2-inch pipe applications with female NPT connections on both ends. The body and trim are constructed from brass, with a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance. A wedge-style handle provides positive on/off control in tight spaces. The valve uses an NBR seal and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat, making it suitable for a range of fluid-handling applications where a compact shutoff is needed. At 0.1 pounds, the valve is lightweight and easy to handle during installation in confined plumbing or mechanical spaces.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and mechanical rooms where space constraints require a compact shutoff solution. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded engagement into standard 1/2-inch NPT female-threaded fittings. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians on branch lines, equipment isolation points, and low-flow service connections. The wedge handle design allows for quick manual actuation without additional tools.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation manual shutoff valve for 1/2-inch NPT threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain any residual fluid before removing or installing the valve. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads being engaged, and do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify valve orientation and handle clearance before completing installation.
