{"product_id":"brass-ball-valve-3-4-ip-no-lead","title":"Brass Ball Valve, 3\/4 IP, No Lead","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Legend Valve brass ball valve in 3\/4-inch is a no-lead shutoff built for reliable, full-flow control of potable water lines. With FIPT x FIPT female threaded connections on both ends and a simple quarter-turn handle, it lets you fully open or close a line quickly and positively, making it an essential component for isolating water treatment equipment, fixtures, and plumbing runs whenever service is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBall valves are prized for their durability and tight, dependable sealing. A 90-degree turn of the lever rotates the internal ball to either open the passage fully or block it completely, with a clear visual indication of position from the handle. Unlike older gate and globe valves, there is no slow-closing, wear-prone seat that gradually fails to seal, which is why ball valves have become the standard for isolation duty in modern plumbing. The no-lead brass body makes this valve appropriate for drinking water systems and compliant with current lead-free requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Legend Valve \u0026amp; Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting type: ball valve (quarter-turn shutoff)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: FIPT x FIPT (female x female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: no-lead brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 0.66 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallers very commonly use 3\/4-inch ball valves to add shutoffs ahead of softeners, filters, water heaters, and other appliances, which dramatically simplifies future service by allowing a single component to be isolated without draining the whole system. Adding shutoff valves during installation is a small upfront effort that pays dividends every time maintenance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full-port design minimizes flow restriction so the valve does not become a bottleneck in the line, and the rugged brass construction ensures smooth, dependable operation for years. During installation, apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the female connections and tighten to a firm, leak-free fit. With this positive, long-lasting isolation valve in place, shutting down a section of plumbing for service becomes a quick quarter-turn rather than a chore. Labeling each shutoff at installation, noting what it isolates, turns future service into a simple, low-stress task for whoever works on the system next, which is a small courtesy that pays off for years. The smooth quarter-turn action also makes the valve easy to operate even after long periods closed, so a shutoff installed today will still cycle freely when you finally need it for service years from now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legend Valve \u0026 Fitting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668765138997,"sku":"BBV07T","price":40.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/bbv07t.jpg?v=1782532479","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/fr-eu\/products\/brass-ball-valve-3-4-ip-no-lead","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
