FIP Plastic (482U200), White","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a main shut-off fails or a low-grade valve seizes during the peak of the summer heat, your entire irrigation schedule grinds to a halt. A cracked valve body or a stuck handle can lead to catastrophic water waste, flooded turf, and frustrated clients who are watching their landscape investment wither. With the current supply chain instability and the high demand of the late spring rush, waiting until a valve fails to source a replacement risks significant project delays. Securing your inventory of these 2 inch valves now ensures that your crews can perform emergency repairs or complete new installations without being sidelined by back-orders or local stock shortages. Proper planning with reliable components keeps your projects moving and your seasonal deadlines intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lesso Midline Valve series offers a significant technical upgrade over thin-walled alternatives found at big-box retailers. Engineered from high-tensile schedule 40 PVC, this valve utilizes a full-port design that maintains maximum flow rates and minimizes pressure drop across the system. This efficiency reduces the strain on pumps and ensures that downstream rotors or drip zones receive the precise pressure required for uniform coverage. By installing a professional grade valve that resists corrosion and scale buildup, you reduce the frequency of future service calls and lower the long term maintenance costs for your clients. Maintaining a stock of these valves gives your firm a competitive edge by allowing for immediate, high quality service that cheaper competitors cannot match.\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-Tensile PVC Body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFPT x FPT (Female Pipe Thread)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Inch Nominal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuarter-Turn Ergonomic Lever\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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 PSI at 73 Degrees F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPDM O-Rings and TPE Seats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNSF Approved for Potable Water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2 inch FIP model is part of a comprehensive lineup of Lesso PVC ball valves designed for professional water systems.

Use a high-quality PTFE thread sealant tape or a non-hardening pipe dope specifically rated for plastic materials to ensure a leak-free connection. Avoid over-tightening with heavy wrenches, as excessive torque can stress the PVC body; hand-tightening plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is generally sufficient. Always verify that the valve is installed in an accessible location, such as a jumbo valve box, to allow for future operation and maintenance per local plumbing and irrigation codes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52079567307041,"sku":"401-020T","price":14.99,"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-2-in-fip-plastic-482u200-white","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
