Value Collection 9914021085 Miniature Ball Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9914021085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for inline shut-off and flow control in small-diameter piping systems. It features a 1/4-inch MNPT x FNPT end connection, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe installations. The body and trim are both brass construction, offering solid corrosion resistance in a compact form factor. A chrome-plated finish adds surface protection. The wedge-style handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation. The seat is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and the seal is NBR, both well-suited for moderate-pressure fluid service. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters where a reliable manual shut-off is needed in tight spaces.

This miniature ball valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a compact, threaded shut-off is required. Its MNPT x FNPT configuration allows it to thread directly into male-threaded fittings on one end and accept a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the other. Typical installations include instrument lines, sample lines, equipment isolation, and small-diameter branch connections. The compact dimensions of 1.37 inches in length and 0.78 inches in width make it practical in confined spaces or panel installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per IPC and IFGC guidelines before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections on brass-body valves, as this can crack the body or distort the seat.
