This NIBCO Press System ball valve body is manufactured from lead free HydraPure Performance Bronze alloy and is dezincification resistant. The ball valve is designed with threaded by press-to-connect copper end connections with an inboard bead and EPDM O-ring for quick and easy copper to copper joinery. Properly applying pressure from a press-fit tool tightens the O-ring onto the tube, ensuring a clean, permanent, watertight seal in seconds, with no flame, solder or flux. This ball valve features a new design that allows a leak to occur during testing if the press connection is not properly crimped. This NIBCO Press System is user friendly, quick and easy to install. When properly crimped a unique "N" witness mark is clearly visible. The lead free HydraPure Performance Bronze ball valve is specifically designed for use in systems that deliver water for human consumption. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information.
