Ball valve ARCO VA30 1 1/4" female-male with long handle

ARCO VA30 1 1/4" female-male ball valve with long handle is designed for on/off flow control in plumbing and industrial piping. The valve offers a quarter-turn operation with manual actuation via an extended lever to provide easier access in tight or elevated installations. Constructed for use on liquid and gas lines, the compact design supports straightforward shut-off and service isolation where a reliable manual ball valve is required.

Advantages

The long handle improves leverage, reducing operator effort during opening and closing. A quarter-turn ball mechanism ensures quick, binary control of flow and minimal pressure drop when fully open. The female-to-male connection simplifies installation in systems using mixed threaded fittings and allows direct inline coupling. The valve's compact body is suitable for confined spaces and supports straightforward maintenance and replacement.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial water supply lines
• Industrial piping for liquids and non-corrosive gases
• Shut-off and isolation points in heating and cooling circuits
• Piping systems requiring manual, visible open/closed status

Key specifications

• Connection type: 1 1/4" female to male threaded connection
• Actuation: manual long lever for quarter-turn operation
• Function: on/off ball valve suitable for liquids and gases
• Design: compact inline body for space-limited installations

How to use

Install the valve in the pipeline matching the threaded sizes and sealing requirements of the system. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape on threaded joints and tighten to recommended torque for the pipe material. Turn the long handle 90 degrees to open or close the flow; the lever provides clear visual indication of valve position. Perform routine checks for leaks after installation and during operation.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, verify compatibility with the transported medium and system pressure. Avoid exposing the valve to aggressive chemicals or temperatures beyond the range specified by the system. Operate the valve slowly under pressure to reduce water hammer and check connections periodically for tightness.
