Value Collection 9918043085 Miniature Ball Valve 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9918043085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/8 inch push-to-connect tubing applications. The body and trim are constructed from brass, providing solid corrosion resistance in low-pressure fluid and gas lines. The wedge-style handle allows for quick quarter-turn shutoff, and the NBR seal paired with a polytetrafluoroethylene seat ensures a reliable, leak-resistant closure. At 0.1 pounds, this compact valve fits tight spaces where standard-size valves cannot. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists install this valve in small-bore control and supply lines.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving 1/8 inch OD tubing. Typical uses include instrumentation lines, pneumatic control circuits, refrigeration sensing lines, and small-bore fluid distribution systems. The push-to-connect ends on both sides simplify installation by eliminating the need for threaded fittings or solder connections, making it a practical choice in retrofit and new-construction scenarios where tubing is pre-cut to length.

Key Features

• Brass body and trim construction for durability in fluid and gas service
• Push-to-connect x push-to-connect ends for tool-free tube insertion
• Wedge handle for fast quarter-turn open and close operation
• NBR seal material compatible with a range of common fluids and gases
• Polytetrafluoroethylene seat for low-friction, leak-resistant shutoff
• Chrome-plated finish for added surface protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for small-bore push-to-connect tubing systems using 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

This valve is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off the upstream fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before inserting tubing into the push-to-connect ends. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely to achieve a proper seal at each connection. Verify that the valve handle is in the closed position before restoring system pressure and inspect for leaks at startup.
