Value Collection 9948016385 Miniature Ball Valve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9948016385 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/8 inch pipe applications using an MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connection. The valve body and trim are constructed from brass with a chrome-plated finish, and it uses an NBR seal with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat for reliable shutoff. A wedge-style handle provides quick quarter-turn operation. Weighing just 0.09 pounds and measuring 1.37 inches in length, this compact valve fits in tight spaces where standard-size valves will not. It is suited for plumbing, pneumatic, or light fluid control applications requiring a small-footprint inline shutoff.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial installations where low-flow or instrumentation-level shutoff is needed. Typical applications include tubing runs for air lines, water supply branches, refrigeration sensing lines, and similar small-diameter circuits. The MNPT inlet threads onto a standard 1/8 inch male NPT fitting, while the push-to-connect outlet accepts 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing for tool-free insertion. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working on compact fluid or pneumatic systems will encounter this valve type regularly.

Key Features

• Brass body and trim for corrosion resistance in wet and pneumatic service
• NBR seal compatible with water, air, and many common fluids
• PTFE seat provides low-friction, leak-resistant shutoff
• Chrome-plated finish protects against surface corrosion
• Wedge handle allows quick quarter-turn open and close
• Push-to-connect outlet accepts 1/8 inch OD tubing without additional fittings or tools

Compatibility

Designed for 1/8 inch MNPT threaded pipe connections with 1/4 inch thread size and 1/8 inch outside diameter push-to-connect tubing. Suitable as an inline manual shutoff in small-diameter fluid or pneumatic circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or mechanical technician. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before installing or removing this valve. Apply thread sealant tape to the MNPT male threads on the mating fitting before assembly. Verify that the tubing inserted into the push-to-connect port is cut cleanly and squared to ensure a proper seal.
