The Male Threaded Brass
Ball Valve is a versatile, durable fluid control fixture designed for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing systems, merging secure connection capabilities, precise flow regulation, and robust brass construction to manage water or compatible fluids efficiently.
Advantages
This
Valve’s core strengths lie in its male threaded design and high-quality brass build: the external threads ensure a direct, leak-proof connection with female pipe fittings, eliminating the need for additional adapters in standard systems. Brass offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both hot and cold water applications, while its dense structure withstands consistent pressure fluctuations without degradation. The quarter-turn wing handle enables rapid, one-handed flow adjustment (including full shutoff) for easy operation, and the compact, heavy-duty frame fits into tight plumbing spaces. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance—only occasional cleaning—to preserve performance, supporting long-term cost-effectiveness.
Detailed Features
Structurally, the valve consists of a solid brass body (marked with size identifiers, visible in the image), a polished internal ball core, and a heat-resistant yellow wing handle (for ergonomic grip and high visibility). The male threaded ends feature uniform, high-tolerance threading to form a tight seal with female pipe joints, and reinforced hexagonal sections on the body facilitate easy installation with standard wrenches. The quarter-turn handle provides clear visual confirmation of the valve’s status (aligned with flow direction when open, perpendicular when closed) and is attached to a metal actuator (secured by a locking nut) to prevent slippage. Tight manufacturing tolerances ensure the ball core forms a hermetic seal with the valve body, eliminating potential leak points.
Application Scope
This male threaded brass ball valve is widely used in residential plumbing (e.g., sink, washing machine, or outdoor faucet lines), commercial kitchen systems (e.g., appliance water supply), light industrial fluid circuits (e.g., low-pressure water distribution), and small-scale irrigation setups: in homes, it controls flow to household fixtures; in restaurants, it regulates water supply to cooking or cleaning equipment; in small facilities, it manages low-pressure fluid lines for processing tools; in gardens, it fits irrigation hoses to adjust water distribution. It is particularly suitable for environments where secure, direct connections and easy operation are priorities (e.g., rental properties, small businesses). Whether used in new installations or as a replacement for worn valves, this fixture delivers consistent performance. It provides a practical, adaptable fluid control solution, balances durability and usability, and meets the needs of homeowners, plumbers, and facility operators seeking a reliable male threaded brass ball valve.
