Value Collection 9938043085 Miniature Ball Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9938043085 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 3/8-inch push-to-connect tubing connections. The body and trim are constructed from brass, offering solid corrosion resistance in potable water, pneumatic, and light fluid-handling applications. The wedge-style handle allows for quick quarter-turn shutoff. An NBR seal and PTFE seat provide reliable sealing performance across a range of compatible media. At 0.1 pounds, this compact valve is well-suited for tight installation spaces where a full-size ball valve would not fit. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly install this type of valve in instrumentation lines, equipment supply branches, and small-diameter tubing runs.

This valve is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications involving 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing. The push-to-connect end connections on both sides allow for tool-free tubing insertion, making it a practical choice for service work where speed and accessibility matter. Typical use cases include refrigeration equipment water lines, ice maker supply branches, and instrumentation or sample lines in mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect x push-to-connect end connections for tool-free tubing insertion
• Brass body and trim for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• NBR seal material compatible with a range of media including water and air
• PTFE seat provides low-friction, reliable quarter-turn shutoff
• Chrome-plated finish for added surface protection
• Wedge-style handle for fast manual operation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing in push-to-connect configurations. Suitable as an inline shutoff valve in small-diameter plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic tubing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before installing or removing the valve. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect fittings. Verify that the tubing outside diameter matches the valve connection size before installation.
