Brass Full Port Ball Valve

The Brass Full Port Ball Valve stands as the industry standard for reliable on/off service in residential, commercial, and light industrial fluid handling systems. Engineered for durability and maximum efficiency, this valve guarantees minimal pressure drop and exceptional lifespan.

Feature	Benefit to Your System
Full Port (Full Bore) Design	The inner bore diameter is equal to the pipe’s internal diameter, resulting in zero restriction to flow and minimal pressure loss.
Durable Brass Body	Provides excellent corrosion resistance against water, oil, and gas, ensuring a long service life and high pressure tolerance.
Blowout-Proof Stem	Stem is inserted from the inside of the body, preventing accidental ejection under pressure for enhanced safety.
Quarter-Turn Operation	Fast, reliable shut-off or opening with a simple 90-degree turn of the heavy-duty handle.
PTFE (Teflon) Seals	Offers superior chemical compatibility and a low-friction seal, reducing operational torque and ensuring tight shut-off.

Why Choose a Full Port Design?

For many applications, the choice between a standard (reduced) port and a full port ball valve is critical.

Maximum Flow Capacity: A reduced port valve constricts the flow, which can decrease pump efficiency and increase energy consumption. The full port design ensures flow rates are maximized, making it ideal for mainline isolation.
Minimal Pressure Drop: By eliminating the bottleneck, you maintain system pressure, preventing stress on downstream equipment. This is essential for long distribution lines.
Suitability for Viscous Fluids: For fluids with high viscosity or those containing suspended solids, the full, smooth bore prevents clogs and particle build-up.

Typical Applications

Our durable brass full port ball valve is engineered for use across a wide range of systems where isolation and flow efficiency are paramount:

Plumbing and Potable Water Systems: Reliable shut-off for residential and commercial water lines.
HVAC Systems: Used in hydronic heating and chilled water loops.
Compressed Air and Inert Gas Lines: Provides quick isolation with minimal leakage.
Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems: Main shut-off points requiring high flow.

Available Sizes: 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 2 inch.
