Value Collection 9914030085 Miniature Ball Valve 1/4 in Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9914030085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch pipe applications with female NPT connections on both ends. The body and trim are constructed from brass, providing solid corrosion resistance in a compact form factor. The valve uses an NBR seal and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat, which together deliver reliable shutoff performance across a range of fluids and temperatures. A wedge-style handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation. At 0.1 pounds and measuring 1.37 inches in length, this valve is well suited for tight-space installations where a full-size valve body will not fit. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of valve as an isolation point in small-bore piping runs.

This miniature ball valve is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications where a compact inline shutoff is required on a 1/4 inch pipe line. Typical installation scenarios include sample ports, gauge isolation, condensate lines, and small refrigerant or fluid control circuits. The FNPT x FNPT end configuration threads directly onto male-NPT fittings or pipe without adapters. The chrome-plated finish provides a clean appearance and added surface protection in exposed installations.

Key Features

• Brass body and trim construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and HVAC service
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for direct thread-in installation on 1/4 inch male NPT pipe or fittings
• PTFE seat provides low-friction seating and chemical compatibility across common system fluids
• NBR seal material suited for water, oil, and many common hydraulic fluids
• Wedge-style handle delivers fast quarter-turn open and close operation
• Chrome-plated finish for surface protection and clean appearance in finished installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation miniature ball valve for 1/4 inch FNPT pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and drain or depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before threading the valve into place; do not overtighten brass fittings. Verify fluid and temperature compatibility with the NBR seal and PTFE seat before placing the valve in service.
