Watts 450111 Lead Free Bronze Ball Valve 1 Inch 600 Wog

Product Description

The WATTS 450111 is a 2-piece, full port, lead free bronze ball valve rated for 600 WOG and 150 WSP. The bronze body pairs with a chrome plated brass ball and virgin PTFE seat and stem packing to deliver reliable shutoff across a full range of liquids and gases. The 1-inch socket (solder) end connection suits copper pipe installations in commercial and industrial plumbing systems. A blowout-proof stem adds a critical safety feature under pressure, and the full port orifice keeps pressure drop to a minimum during full-flow operation. NSF-372 certification confirms compliance with lead free material requirements.

This valve is suited for commercial and industrial applications where a dependable, low-pressure-drop shutoff is required on liquid or gas lines. The socket end connection makes it a natural choice for copper pipe systems in mechanical rooms, process piping, and building plumbing. The temperature range of 0 degrees F to 400 degrees F at 50 psi supports a wide variety of service conditions encountered in plumbing and light industrial installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a 2-piece full port lead free bronze ball valve for 1-inch copper pipe solder connections in commercial and industrial plumbing and piping systems handling liquids and gases.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Isolate the line and relieve system pressure before cutting pipe or soldering connections. Allow the valve body to cool completely after soldering before operating the valve, as excessive heat during the soldering process can damage PTFE seat and packing materials. Verify the valve handle orientation and confirm full open and full closed positions before returning the system to service.
