When a low-grade shut-off valve fails under pressure, you are forced to deal with emergency service calls and frustrated clients while facing industry wide supply shortages and long lead times for replacement components. Securing your inventory of reliable valves now ensures you can meet late spring demand without the stress of back-orders. Planning ahead keeps your crews on schedule and your professional reputation intact when summer heat makes system reliability non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lesso PVC Ball Valve offers a significant technical advantage over standard economy valves by utilizing a full-port design that minimizes pressure loss and maximizes flow efficiency. The rugged 1-1\/4 inch FIP threaded connections provide a secure, leak-proof interface that reduces labor time during installation and lowers long-term maintenance costs compared to slip-fix alternatives. By stocking these high-performance valves, you gain a competitive edge by delivering a more durable system to your clients, ensuring that every install stands up to the rigors of heavy-duty use without requiring constant adjustments or premature replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Impact Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFemale Iron Pipe (FIP) Threaded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/4 Inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy-Duty ABS Plastic (Red)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 PSI at 73 Degrees Fahrenheit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Body with Red Handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Midline Valve series by Lesso is available in a full range of sizes from 1\/2 inch to 4 inches in both threaded and solvent weld configurations to suit diverse plumbing requirements.

Hand-tighten the connection first, and then use a pipe wrench to turn the fitting an additional one to two turns, taking care not to over-tighten which can cause stress cracks in the plastic housing. Always align the valve so the handle is easily accessible for future maintenance and ensure the system is flushed of debris before final operation to protect the internal seals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52079567241505,"sku":"401-012T","price":8.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/fullportballvalve.png?v=1766426131","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/midline-valve-pvc-ball-valve-red-handle-water-shut-off-1-14-in-fip-plastic-482u114","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
