PP-R Ball Valve | Socket Fusion | Green PP-RCT | Lead-Free | 1501PAB
PP-R / PP-RCT Ball Valve | Socket Fusion x Socket Fusion | Green | Lead-Free | 300 PSI WOG
The 1501PAB PP-R / PP-RCT Ball Valve is a green polypropylene ball valve with socket fusion (heat fusion) ends for reliable quarter-turn isolation in PP-R piping systems. Also known as a PP-R ball valve, PPR isolation valve, or green-pipe ball valve, it heat-fuses directly to PP-R and PP-RCT pipe to form a permanent, leak-free joint — no threads, solvents, or gaskets at the connection.
Built with a DZR lead-free brass chrome-plated ball, virgin PTFE seats, and a blow-out proof stem, the 1501PAB handles potable water, hydronic heating and cooling, and HVAC applications. Rated to 300 PSI (WOG) and temperatures up to 185°F (85°C), it delivers dependable service in residential, commercial, and green-building systems.
Key Features & Benefits
— Socket Fusion Ends — Heat-fusion (socket fusion) sockets bond directly to PP-R / PP-RCT pipe for a seamless, permanent connection.
