Big and Heavy

This thing is big and heavy duty—larger than I expected. It is definitely for larger hose or pipe sizes. I got it for my husband to use on the water lines in his sailboat.

High-Quality Hardware

Equal-quality hardware to what my plumber uses. I was setting up additional water filtration, and this did the job for a shut-off valve. Heavy, reliable quality.

Full Port

I’ve made the mistake of not paying enough attention and accidentally choosing more restrictive valves. Getting a full-port valve is important for supplying enough water to downstream lines. No-lead brass—check. Full port—check. Well crafted—check. Operates smoothly—check. This is just what I need.

Ball Valve FAQs | Merrill Manufacturing
Ball Valve FAQs

Common Questions

Do I Need a Threaded, Insert, or PVC Ball Valve?

Choose a threaded ball valve for threaded fittings, an insert ball valve for poly pipe, and a PVC slip or threaded ball valve for PVC systems.

What Does Full-Port Ball Valve Mean?

A full-port ball valve has a larger opening through the ball, helping maintain water flow with less restriction.

Should I Choose Brass, Stainless Steel, or PVC?

Brass works well for most well and pressure-tank systems. Stainless steel suits corrosive or demanding conditions, while PVC fits PVC water lines and irrigation systems.

Why Is My Ball Valve Leaking Around the Handle?

The leak may be coming from the valve stem or packing area. A slight packing-nut adjustment may help, but a damaged or worn valve may need to be replaced.

What Should I Do If My Ball Valve Will Not Turn?

Do not force it. A valve that has sat unused may seize, and excessive force can damage the handle or stem. Replace the valve if it cannot be operated safely.
