PP-RCT Ball Valve | 1516PAB Series | Polyfusion x Barb | Lead-Free Brass | 300 PSI WOG
PP-RCT Ball Valve | 1516PAB Series | Polyfusion x Barb | Lead-Free Brass | 300 PSI WOG
The 1516PAB Series Ball Valve provides a high-performance, code-compliant solution for potable water and hydronic systems. Built with a PP-RCT (Polypropylene Random Copolymer Type 4) body and a DZR lead-free brass ASTM F1960 barb end, this valve seamlessly transitions between polyfusion systems and PEX tubing.
Rated for 300 PSI (WOG) and up to 185°F (85°C), the 1516PAB ensures long-term reliability and leak-free performance in demanding residential, commercial, and institutional systems. The chrome-plated DZR brass ball, PTFE seats, and blow-out proof stem enhance durability and compliance with NSF and AB1953 standards.
