Ball valve ARCO 1/2" M/F with red handle, model 2207R

ARCO ball valve 1/2" M/F with red handle, model 2207R, is a compact manual quarter-turn isolation valve for plumbing and heating systems. The valve connects a male threaded fitting to a female threaded fitting and is intended for on/off control of water and other non-corrosive liquids. Its lever handle provides clear visual indication of open or closed position and fast operation when isolation or service is required.

Advantages

This ball valve offers a simple, robust design that ensures reliable shutoff and minimal flow resistance when open. The red lever handle allows quick visual identification and comfortable manual operation. The threaded male-to-female connections make installation straightforward in conventional piping arrangements without the need for soldering. The valve’s compact form factor suits confined spaces and reduces the number of fittings needed in an assembly.

Suitable for

• On/off water supply shutoff in residential and commercial plumbing
• Isolation of heating system branches and radiator servicing
• General fluid control for non-corrosive liquids in industrial or workshop piping
• Retrofit or replacement of inline threaded valves in tight spaces

Key specifications

• Connection type: 1/2" male to female threaded
• Operation: manual quarter-turn lever
• Handle color: red
• Function: on/off isolation ball valve
• Suitable media: water and non-corrosive liquids
• Design: compact inline body for confined installations

How to use

Install the valve between compatible 1/2" male and female threaded pipe fittings, ensuring threads are clean and sealed with appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or compatible compound) where required. Turn the lever 90° to open or close the flow; the handle aligned with the flow path indicates the open position, perpendicular indicates closed. Operate the valve by hand without applying excessive force. Check for leaks after installation and cycle the valve once to confirm smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Before installing, verify fluid compatibility and operating pressure/temperature limits of the valve within the system. For long-term reliability, avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or media outside the valve's intended use and perform periodic inspections for leak-tightness and handle condition.
