Ball Valve 1/2 in. Press Zero-Lead Bronze ProPress

Regulate the flow of drinkable water with the 1/2 in. bronze ball valve. This lead-free valve is equipped with a 316 stainless-steel ball and EPDM sealing components. The press connections allow for a fast and effective installation of this ball valve. In contrast to conventional pipe fittings, there is no requirement for calibration, flame, or heavy machinery. Instead, installing bronze ball valves can be completed in just four simple steps: cut the copper pipe to the desired length, eliminate any burrs and surface flaws, measure and mark the depth for fitting insertion, and utilize a press tool to connect the zero-lead ball valve for a reliable connection. Smart Connect technology detects unpressed connections during pressure tests to ensure correct connections on the first try and reduce callbacks. This system meets the most codes and standards of any other press fitting system (including IPC, UPC, and NSF), and offers over 400 different fitting configurations to accommodate nearly any plumbing or HVAC task, making these ball valves a preferred choice for professionals worldwide.
