The brass body and brass trim provide reliable corrosion resistance in plumbing, HVAC, and light commercial gas or liquid service lines. A lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn shutoff. PTFE seats and seals deliver low-friction, leak-resistant performance across a wide range of service conditions. This valve is lead-free and meets multiple industry standards, making it suitable for potable water, gas, and general fluid control applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where a compact, full-port shutoff is required on 3\/8-inch supply or service lines. Full-port design minimizes flow restriction, which is critical in applications where pressure drop must be kept low. The MNPT x FNPT end configuration allows inline installation without additional adapters in most standard threaded piping systems. The gray body with red lever handle provides quick visual identification of valve position in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-port design minimizes pressure drop and flow restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body and trim for corrosion-resistant durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE seats and seals for low-friction, leak-resistant shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarter-turn lever handle for fast manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free construction suitable for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B16.44, FM 1140, UL 125, UL 842, and additional certifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 3\/8-inch threaded piping systems using MNPT x FNPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, and compatible fluid or gas service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to MNPT threads per the sealant manufacturer and local code requirements. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings are subject to damage from excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gray with Red Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B16.44, CGA CR91-002, CAN\/CGA 3.16, ASME B16.33, FM 1140, UL 125, UL 842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TXMN038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699195969842,"sku":"TXMN038","price":18.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9b702bec9629ea09cb9a17897c216605.jpg?v=1788373385","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-txmn038-ball-valve-3-8-inch-mnpt-x-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
