Value Collection 9914035085 Miniature Ball Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9914035085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for inline flow control in tight-clearance plumbing and HVAC applications. The body and trim are machined from brass, and the chrome-plated finish adds corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. Flow is controlled by a wedge-style handle for quick quarter-turn on/off operation. The seat is made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and the seal from NBR (nitrile), a combination well suited to water, air, and many common fluids encountered in trade service work. At 0.18 pounds and just over 1.31 inches in length, this valve fits where standard-body valves cannot.

This valve is sized for 1/4 inch pipe with female NPT connections on both ends, making it a direct thread-in component for small-diameter lines. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including instrument lines, bypass circuits, sample ports, and low-volume fluid control points in HVAC, plumbing, and related mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians routinely specify miniature ball valves like this one where space constraints rule out full-port or standard-body valves.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch FNPT x FNPT end connections for direct threaded installation
• Brass body and brass trim for durability in wet service environments
• Chrome-plated finish for added corrosion resistance
• PTFE seat material provides low-friction, long-service sealing
• NBR seal suitable for water, air, and many common fluids
• Wedge handle enables quick quarter-turn open/close operation
• Compact footprint at 1.31 inches in length and 0.18 pounds for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/4 inch female NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before threading in the valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT fittings mating to this valve per IPC and local code requirements. Do not over-torque the brass body, as excessive force can crack the fitting or distort the seat.
