Brass Ball Valve | Manual Ball Valve | 1/2″-2″ | BSP/NPT | 1.6MPa | Gas/Water Systems | KTW/ACS Certified

Product Overview

The Brass Ball Valve is a high-quality manual flow control valve manufactured from forged brass material. Designed for durability and reliable performance, this valve series covers sizes from 1/2″ to 2″, making it suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications including gas piping, water supply systems, HVAC, and general industrial fluid control.

The ball valve operates by rotating a spherical valve core with a through-hole inside the valve body to achieve fluid on/off control. The quarter-turn operation (90° from fully open to fully closed) provides quick and easy flow control. The yellow handle offers high visibility for easy identification of valve status.

This product is manufactured to ISO228 thread standards with BSP threads as standard, with NPT options available upon request. It holds multiple international certifications including CE, KTW, ACS, and RoHS, ensuring compliance with European standards and drinking water safety requirements. The valve is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C with a maximum working pressure of 1.6MPa.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between BSP and NPT threads?

A: BSP (British Standard Pipe) and NPT (National Pipe Taper) are both tapered thread standards but are not interchangeable. BSP threads have a 55° thread angle and are commonly used in Europe, Asia, and Commonwealth countries. NPT threads have a 60° thread angle and are the standard in North America. Our valve comes standard with BSP threads (ISO228), with NPT options available upon request. Please confirm your piping thread standard before ordering.

Q2: Can this valve be used for drinking water applications?

A: Yes. This valve holds both KTW and ACS certifications. KTW certification confirms that all materials in contact with drinking water meet strict German health standards, while ACS certification verifies compliance with French drinking water safety requirements. These certifications make the valve suitable for potable water systems in European markets and beyond.

Q3: What is the maximum working pressure and temperature?

A: The maximum working pressure is 1.6MPa (approximately 232 psi). The operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C. Please ensure your application operates within these parameters to maintain optimal performance and service life. For applications outside this range, please consult our technical team for alternative solutions.

Q4: What customization options are available?

A: We offer OEM, ODM, and OBM services. Customization options include: branded packaging and labeling, custom handle colors (standard is yellow), surface finish options, and private labeling. Minimum order quantities may apply for customized orders. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements.
