Midline Valve PVC Ball Valve Red Handle Water Shut-Off 1 in. FIP Plastic (482U100)

Product Overview

System shutdowns and unexpected leaks often occur during the peak of the irrigation season, right when your crews are stretched thin and summer heat is putting maximum stress on turf and crops. A missing or failed shut-off valve can lead to significant water waste, costly property damage, and failed site inspections that delay project completion. With global supply chains often facing long lead times, being caught without reliable inventory during late spring demand puts your reputation at risk. Planning ahead and securing your stock of Lesso PVC ball valves now provides the relief of knowing your projects will stay on schedule and your clients' landscapes will remain protected.

The Lesso 482U100 PVC Ball Valve offers a significant technical advantage over lower-grade alternatives by utilizing a high-torque red handle that ensures easy operation even after seasons of inactivity. This model features female iron pipe (FIP) threads, allowing for a secure, leak-free connection without the mess or curing time of solvent welding. By choosing these professional-grade valves, you reduce labor costs associated with callbacks and maintenance. Maintaining a well-stocked inventory of these units gives your firm a competitive edge, as you can perform immediate repairs and new installs while others are waiting on back-ordered components.

Key Features

  • Heavy-duty PVC construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation over time.
  • Full-port design ensures maximum flow rates and minimal pressure drop across the valve.
  • Threaded FIP connections allow for easy installation and future replacement without cutting the pipe.
  • The high-visibility red handle simplifies location and operation for your maintenance crews.
  • EPDM seats and O-rings provide a positive, leak-proof seal under standard operating pressures.
  • Quarter-turn operation allows for rapid shut-off during emergencies or routine system winterization.

Common Applications

  • Commercial landscape irrigation
  • Residential lawn and garden systems
  • Agricultural and crop irrigation
  • Sports turf and golf course maintenance
  • Municipal parks and public spaces
  • Greenhouse and nursery operations

Installation Notes

Install this valve using high-quality PTFE thread seal tape or a non-hardening pipe dope suitable for plastic threads to ensure a watertight seal. Hand-tighten the FIP connections first, followed by no more than one to two turns with a pipe wrench; overtightening may cause stress cracks in the PVC housing. Ensure the valve is installed in an accessible location, such as a valve box, to comply with local codes and facilitate easy manual operation during seasonal maintenance or emergency shutdowns.
