Product Description

The Beduan 1/2" Mini Ball Valve, 316 Stainless Steel Female x Male NPT Thread Shut-Off Valve is a compact, reliable solution for precise flow control in a wide range of applications. Engineered from high-quality 316 stainless steel, this valve offers superior corrosion resistance, durability, and long service life, even in demanding environments. The robust construction makes it suitable for use with water, oil, gas, and other compatible media in residential, commercial, and industrial systems. Featuring a 1/2" male NPT thread on one end and a 1/2" female NPT thread on the other, this mini ball valve is easy to integrate into existing piping setups. The standardized NPT threading ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection, simplifying installation and maintenance. Its compact design is ideal for tight spaces where larger valves may not fit, while still providing dependable shut-off performance. The quarter-turn handle allows for quick and straightforward operation, enabling users to open or close the valve with minimal effort. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where frequent on/off control is required, such as in plumbing lines, HVAC systems, process piping, and instrumentation setups. The smooth internal bore and precision ball design help maintain consistent flow and reduce pressure loss across the valve. Designed with reliability and safety in mind, the Beduan 1/2" Mini Ball Valve is built to withstand harsh conditions and repeated use. The 316 stainless steel material resists rust, pitting, and chemical attack, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, as well as marine and high-humidity environments. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or designing a new installation, this shut-off valve delivers performance, efficiency, and peace of mind in a compact, easy-to-use package.

Can this valve be used for both water and air lines?

Yes, it is suitable for many common fluids and gases, including water and air, provided the system pressure, temperature, and media are compatible with 316 stainless steel and the valve’s specifications.

Can the handle orientation be changed after installation?

The handle operates the valve from fully open to fully closed with a 90° turn. Its orientation relative to the pipe depends on how you thread the valve into the system, but the handle itself is not designed for repositioning on the stem.

Is this valve compatible with drinking water systems?

316 stainless steel is widely used in potable water applications. However, always confirm that local plumbing codes and regulations allow this specific valve model for drinking water use in your area.
