Watts 88005699 Lead Free Brass Ball Valve 4 in

Product Description

The WATTS 88005699 is a 4-inch, two-piece, full port brass ball valve designed for use in plumbing and mechanical piping systems where lead free compliance is required. It features a threaded end connection and a full port bore, which maintains maximum flow capacity with minimal pressure drop across the valve. The lead free brass construction meets applicable safe drinking water standards, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in both new construction and retrofit projects requiring a reliable manual shutoff or isolation point.

This valve is intended for residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general water distribution systems. The 4-inch size suits main line installations, mechanical room piping, and larger distribution headers. The two-piece body design allows straightforward installation and serviceability in threaded piping configurations. It is appropriate wherever a full port, lead free shutoff valve is specified by code or engineering requirement.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements
• Full port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Two-piece body construction with threaded end connections
• 4-inch pipe size suits main line and larger distribution piping
• Manual quarter-turn ball valve operation for fast open and close

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 4-inch threaded piping systems in potable water, plumbing, and hydronic applications where lead free materials are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting into any existing line. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections and torque fittings to the pipe manufacturer and fitting manufacturer specifications. Do not use the valve handle as leverage during installation, as this can damage the valve body or stem seal.
