Streamline your installation and removal process. These valves give you the leak-tight permanent connection of a socket connect with the ease of fittings that come apart. Before you install the valve, slide the union fitting over your pipe, then insert the pipe into the socket fittings and bond with primer and cement. The union fittings allow the valve to be quickly removed where other socket-connect valves would require you to cut your pipe. A fluoroelastomer seal and plastic body withstand aggressive and corrosive solutions in chemical-processing applications. All valves have a T-handle that resists accidental movement when snagged or bumped. They are full port, so they do not restrict flow.

PVC valves are often used in mild chemical processing systems. CPVC valves resist heat better than PVC valves, so they’re a good choice for systems that connect to a heater. Glass-filled polypropylene valves are the most durable and impact resistant, so they’re good for systems that frequently start and stop. They resist heat better than PVC and CPVC valves.

Lockable T-handles can be fixed in place using a padlock (not included).

Valves with NPT female connectors come with extra fittings to swap out a socket end for a threaded end. This allows you to make socket to socket connections or adapt socket to threaded connections.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
