PROPRESS BALL VALVE

ProPress Ball Valve – Product Description

A ProPress Ball Valve is a high-quality shut-off valve designed to control the flow of water or other compatible fluids in copper piping systems. It features press-fit connections that allow for quick, secure installation using a press tool, eliminating the need for soldering, threading, or open flame.

Manufactured from lead-free bronze or brass, the valve includes a full-port design for maximum flow and minimal pressure loss. The internal chrome-plated or stainless-steel ball, combined with PTFE seats and EPDM sealing elements, provides smooth operation and reliable, leak-resistant performance.

ProPress ball valves are commonly used in potable water systems, hydronic heating, HVAC, and commercial plumbing applications. Many models also feature Smart Connect® technology, which helps installers easily identify unpressed connections during pressure testing, improving installation reliability.
