Dixon Valve & Coupling FBVG50 Brass Ball Valve, 1/2" NPT Female

Description

This Dixon FBVG50 ball valve is made of forged brass for higher corrosion
resistance than steel and has a plastic-covered lever handle for on/off manual
control. This inline valve has a full port flow for higher operating
efficiency than standard port and 1/2″ female National Pipe Taper (NPT)
threads for connecting two male threaded pipes going in the same direction. It
is pressure rated to 600 pounds per square inch (psi) at a maximum operating
temperature of 248 degrees F. This full port ball valve is suitable for
applications of water and air only.Ball valves use a spherical disc to control
the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that
pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve
and is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the
hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can
be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard
port) depending on the inner diameter or the valve. A ball valve is full port
if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the
connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and termed reduced port if
the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in
less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves
may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball’s position (open or
closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and
steam applications.Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose
fittings and accessories. The company, founded in 1916, is headquartered in
Chestertown, MD.
