Value Collection S92C48R Ball Valve 3/8 in Fnpt Full Port

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S92C48R is a one-way manual ball valve designed for shutoff and flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Built with a brass body and stainless steel trim, this valve delivers durable corrosion resistance across a wide range of service conditions. The full port design maintains maximum flow capacity by minimizing pressure drop through the valve. A reinforced PTFE seat provides a reliable, low-friction seal. At 0.277 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight installation spaces. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this valve in both new construction and retrofit service work.

This valve is sized for 3/8 inch pipe with female NPT connections on both ends, making it a direct thread-in solution for standard NPT piping systems. Its lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation, giving the installer a clear open and closed visual indication. Full port construction is preferred in applications where maintaining flow rate and minimizing restriction is critical, such as water supply lines, refrigerant-related fluid circuits, compressed air lines, and light hydrocarbon service.

Key Features

• Full port ball design minimizes pressure drop and maintains maximum flow rate
• Brass body construction offers corrosion resistance for water, air, and compatible fluid service
• Stainless steel trim for extended service life in demanding environments
• Reinforced PTFE seat provides low-friction, leak-resistant sealing
• Lever handle allows quick quarter-turn shutoff with clear open and closed position indication
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for direct threading onto standard NPT male fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3/8 inch NPT piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off system pressure and drain the line before installing or replacing any valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
