Ball valve with filter 3/4" female-female butterfly handle ARCO VA30 (MPN 752504)

ARCO VA30 is a 3/4" female-to-female ball valve with an integrated filter and a butterfly (wing) handle, engineered for residential and light commercial water systems. The device combines a quarter-turn ball shut-off with a built-in strainer to control flow and capture particles that could damage downstream fixtures. Its compact female-to-female connections and space-saving butterfly handle make it suitable for installations with limited room for maintenance access.

Advantages

The valve integrates flow control and debris protection in a single unit, reducing the number of separate components required in a pipeline. The quarter-turn ball mechanism provides quick, reliable shut-off and low pressure drop during normal operation. The built-in strainer traps sediment and particulate, helping to prolong the life of faucets, filters and small pumps. The butterfly handle offers fast manual operation and a reduced profile compared with larger lever handles.

Suitable for

• Shut-off and filtration on domestic water supply lines
• Protecting fixtures and appliances from debris in cold water systems
• Service isolation for small residential or light commercial installations
• Applications where space is limited and a compact manual valve is required

Key specifications

• Connection type: 3/4" female-to-female threaded ends
• Valve type: ball valve with quarter-turn operation
• Handle: butterfly (wing) manual handle for compact operation
• Integrated feature: internal strainer for debris capture
• Typical medium: cold or potable water (non-corrosive fluids)
• Suitable installation: inline piping where filtration and isolation are required

How to use

Install the valve inline between compatible 3/4" threaded fittings, ensuring thread sealant or tape appropriate for potable water systems is applied to the joints. Orient the valve so the handle is accessible for operation and the strainer faces the incoming flow if recommended by system layout. Turn the butterfly handle a quarter turn to move between fully open and fully closed positions. Periodically inspect and clean the internal strainer by isolating the valve, removing the strainer access if applicable, and flushing or removing trapped debris according to local plumbing practices.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve for cold or potable water systems only and avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or temperatures beyond typical domestic water ranges. Follow local plumbing codes for installation and use thread sealants that are approved for potable water. Inspect the integrated strainer at regular maintenance intervals, especially in systems with known sediment or debris, to maintain flow and prevent downstream damage.
