Value Collection TXMN050 Ball Valve 1/2 in Mnpt X Fnpt Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TXMN050 is a full port manual ball valve designed for 1/2 inch pipe systems using MNPT x FNPT threaded end connections. The brass body and brass trim deliver corrosion resistance suited to plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and light commercial gas or water service lines. A lever handle provides quick quarter-turn shutoff, and the full port design maintains maximum flow by matching the valve bore to the pipe inside diameter. The PTFE seat and seal minimize friction on the ball and reduce the risk of leakage over service life. This valve is lead free, meeting current potable water installation requirements.

The TXMN050 is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a reliable manual isolation point is needed on a 1/2 inch supply or distribution line. Typical applications include water supply shutoffs, hydronic heating branch lines, compressed air drops, and natural gas branch piping where the applicable standards are met. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers. The lever handle allows fast visual confirmation of valve position, which is useful in tight mechanical rooms or utility spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the upstream supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid service requirements. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings of the valve or the connected piping system.
