Watts 881729 Lever Handle 1-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The WATTS 881729 is a lever handle designed as a replacement actuating component for 1-1/2-inch valve assemblies. Lever handles provide a quarter-turn grip interface that allows technicians to open, close, or throttle flow control valves quickly and without additional tooling. This handle is a common service replacement in plumbing, hydronic heating, and light commercial piping systems where original handles are damaged, lost, or worn. At 0.37 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for fast swap-outs during routine maintenance or emergency service calls.

This lever handle is intended for use on 1-1/2-inch valve bodies in residential and light commercial applications. Typical installation scenarios include ball valve replacements on domestic water lines, hydronic loop shutoffs, and similar piping systems where a tactile open-closed indicator is needed. Plumbing and HVAC technicians commonly stock replacement lever handles to minimize downtime during service visits.
