1/2 inch Forged Brass Ball Valve with Male x Female NPT Thread Full Port Connection, 2Pack Heavy Duty 1/2'' M to F NPT Threaded Metal Shut Off Control Valves Connector, for Water, Oil, and Gas

For the price, the quality is good and they work just like a ball valve should. I don’t know how many times the valve can be opened and closed before the packing leaks, but for my garden hose, it works fine. I would buy again.

Good shutoff valve for use on gas line to BBQ. Makes it unnecessary to unplug push in fitting every time.

The valves seem to be well made. The handle and ball fit snuggly as they should and seal with no leakage from the stem. I use one to replace a worn valve on an air compressor of mine. I preferred a different orientation of the handle and was able to change it to a more desirable one (Remove stem nut and handle, rotate handle 180 degrees, replace handle and stem nut) The roll of TFE tape was a nice inclusion with the valves. I have other rolls of the tape, just not sure where, so this was a time saver for me not having to look for it. It’s the little things like this that helps make for a great day. I would buy again.

What my dad needed. Worked perfectly

These 1” NPT full port ball valves work great for connecting 1" FNPT brass irrigation impact sprinklers to 1" MNPT aluminum pipe. Very fast shipping. They are heavy duty but are light weight for a ball valve. They do tarnish quickly which does not affect functionality. Has a shallow depth of only 17mm of usable thread which may be the reason for the free teflon tape. It takes a lot of torque to use 15mm of the 17mm of thread. Ball valve is rebuildable with an 1-1/2" hex outer diameter at the FNPT side and a thin width of 6mm of the hex fitting with a diameter 1-7/16". I'm going to purchase more of these next summer.

Work great. Doesnt leak. Easy to turn handle. Installed on a water heater inlet pipe and it works perfectly.

Feels like solid ball valves, quality looks good from initial evaluation & ball came lubed up well. No issues with leaks, however I used teflon tape with a little pipe thread sealant just to be safe…. Even with flex lines that have rubber gaskets in them. Just be sure to have a big wrench for tightening!

Goog solid units with sufficient threads to seal properly. I used mine on my hot water heater. Both of the cut off levers were blue. Wish one was red. Other than that, a good quality set of valves for a very good price. Came with a free roll of teflon sealing tape.
