Value Collection TXMN025 Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Mnpt X Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TXMN025 is a full port, 1/4-inch manual ball valve designed for shutoff and flow-control applications in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. The body and trim are constructed from lead-free brass, making it suitable for potable water service. A lever handle provides quick quarter-turn operation, and the full port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seats and seals deliver reliable shutoff and chemical resistance across a wide range of media. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and commercial settings.

The TXMN025 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, lead-free shutoff point is required on 1/4-inch pipe runs. Typical installations include water supply branch lines, refrigeration or chilled-water accessory lines, compressed air service drops, and gas appliance connections where the applicable certifications are required. The MNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct in-line installation without additional fittings on most standard pipe assemblies. This valve meets multiple industry standards, including FM 1140, UL 125, UL 842, ASME B16.44, ASME B16.33, ANSI B1.20.1, CGA CR91-002, and CAN/CGA 3.16.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shutoff valve for 1/4-inch NPT pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications where lead-free brass construction and multi-standard certification are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC provisions, and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing the valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per the piping system requirements. Do not over-torque the threaded connections — follow standard NPT assembly practice for 1/4-inch fittings to avoid cracking the valve body.
