Marketing InformationThe NIBCO Press System® vented ball valve is designed for mechanical HVAC and non-potable process water applications. This ball valve has press connections and features a new design that allows a leak to occur during testing if the press connection is not properly crimped. The two-piece ball valve body is manufactured from dezincification resistant bronze, with a stainless steel blowout-proof stem. With the full port design and vented stainless steel ball, the ball valve allows unobstructed bi-directional flow. The lever handle provides convenient quarter-turn operation and bubble-tight shutoff.
