Value Collection 9983216385 Miniature Ball Valve 5/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 9983216385 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for small-bore fluid control applications in plumbing, pneumatic, and light industrial systems. The valve features a brass body and brass trim with a chrome-plated finish, offering solid corrosion resistance in compact installations. It connects via a 1/8-inch MNPT threaded inlet on one end and a push-to-connect fitting on the other, accepting 5/32-inch outside-diameter tubing. A wedge-style handle allows quick quarter-turn shutoff. The seat is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and the seal material is nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), making it suitable for a range of compatible fluids and moderate service pressures. The complete assembly weighs 0.08 pounds.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, reliable shutoff is needed in a small-diameter line. Typical applications include refrigeration tubing runs, pneumatic control circuits, water treatment bypass lines, and instrumentation plumbing. The push-to-connect end simplifies installation in tight spaces where threading both ends is not practical. Licensed plumbers, refrigeration technicians, and instrumentation specialists are the primary installers of this valve type.

Key Features

• Brass body and brass trim for durability and corrosion resistance
• Chrome-plated finish for added surface protection
• MNPT x push-to-connect end configuration for fast, tool-minimal assembly
• PTFE seat material for low friction and chemical compatibility
• NBR seal for reliable sealing across a range of fluid types
• Compact wedge handle for quarter-turn manual operation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/32-inch outside-diameter tubing on the push-to-connect end and 1/8-inch MNPT threaded connections on the male-threaded end. Suitable as a miniature shutoff valve in systems compatible with brass wetted components, PTFE seats, and NBR seals.

Installation Notes

Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing this valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Ensure the push-to-connect tubing is cut cleanly and squared before insertion to achieve a proper seal. This valve should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician familiar with small-bore fluid control systems.
