Description

This high-performance in-line ball valve is the professional choice for managing flow in potable water, beer, and soda dispensing systems. Constructed from 100% lead-free brass, it provides a safe and durable solution for commercial environments where health code compliance is a top priority. Featuring 1/4″ hose barbs on both ends, this valve allows for a simple, secure connection to flexible tubing, giving you an immediate manual shut-off point for maintenance or emergency isolation of specific beverage lines.

Application: Ideal for gas line shut-offs, water filtration bypasses, and syrup line isolation

Technician’s Note: This 1/4″ barb ball valve is an essential “fail-safe” for draft systems. We recommend installing these near the secondary regulator or the syrup pump so you can isolate a single line for cleaning or repair without shutting down the entire rack. When installing into 1/4″ ID vinyl or braided tubing, use 10.5mm Oetiker Stepless Clamps to ensure the hose does not back off under pressure. The lead-free brass construction makes this specifically suitable for ice makers and coffee brewers where standard brass is prohibited by local health codes.
