Value Collection 9914016385 Miniature Ball Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9914016385 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/4-inch pipe applications in compressed air, fluid, and low-pressure plumbing systems. It features a brass body and brass trim with a chrome-plated finish, providing corrosion resistance in light industrial and mechanical environments. The valve connects on one end via 1/4-inch male NPT threading and on the other via push-to-connect fitting, making it adaptable for mixed-connection installations. The wedge-style handle allows quick quarter-turn shutoff. An NBR seal and PTFE seat deliver reliable shutoff for common gases and liquids handled by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors.

This valve suits residential and light commercial applications where a compact inline shutoff is needed in a tight space. Typical installations include refrigeration line sets, pneumatic control circuits, small-bore water lines, and instrument tubing runs. The push-to-connect end simplifies connection to 1/4-inch OD tubing without additional fittings, reducing labor time on service calls or new installations. The small form factor makes it well suited for equipment panels, manifold assemblies, and other space-constrained locations.

Key Features

• Brass body and trim construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and air service
• 1/4-inch MNPT x push-to-connect end connections for mixed-fitting flexibility
• NBR seal material compatible with common refrigerants, water, and pneumatic service
• PTFE seat provides low-friction, reliable quarter-turn shutoff
• Chrome-plated finish for added surface protection
• Wedge handle enables fast, positive open/close operation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/4-inch pipe and 1/4-inch OD tubing systems requiring a manual inline ball valve shutoff.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing valve or fitting. Ensure the push-to-connect end is used with compatible 1/4-inch OD tubing and that tubing is cut cleanly and fully seated before pressurizing. Verify the valve handle is in the closed position before restoring system pressure.
