The body is constructed from brass, with an NBR seal and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat for reliable shutoff performance across a range of fluid media. A T-handle provides positive quarter-turn operation for fast open and close cycles. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors in both service and process piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve suits residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and general fluid control lines where a compact, full-port shutoff is required. The full port design minimizes pressure drop through the valve body, making it appropriate for systems where flow restriction must be limited. The FNPT x FNPT configuration threads directly onto standard NPT-threaded pipe or fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull port design reduces pressure drop compared to reduced-port valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body offers corrosion resistance for water and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePTFE seat provides low-friction sealing and chemical compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNBR seal material suitable for water, air, and many hydrocarbon-free media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-handle enables quick quarter-turn shutoff without additional tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-piece body construction simplifies in-line service access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shutoff valve for 3\/8 inch NPT-threaded pipe systems in plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IPC and applicable local codes. Shut off upstream supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads per manufacturer and code requirements. Verify that the valve flow arrow, if present, is oriented correctly with the system flow direction before final tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe 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 Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: NBR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: TXN038-T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692752339250,"sku":"TXN038-T","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4276ce5e18295a9a6956965d51b5f7f5.jpg?v=1788302263","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-txn038-t-ball-valve-3-8-in-full-port-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
