Ball tap valve FERRO KCD2 with two connections 1" and 3/4" (model K5KCD2)

The FERRO KCD2 ball tap valve with dual threaded connections 1" and 3/4" is designed for controlling water flow in domestic and light commercial plumbing systems. Constructed for compatibility with standard threaded piping and fittings, this valve offers a compact solution where two different connection sizes must be managed or adapted. The quarter-turn ball mechanism enables straightforward on/off operation and reliable sealing when closed.

Advantages

The valve combines two common connection sizes in a single component, reducing the need for additional adapters. Its ball-type closure ensures fast quarter-turn operation and minimizes flow resistance when open. The design is suitable for installation in tight spaces and for retrofitting existing systems that require mixed connection diameters. Materials and construction provide consistent performance for water supply applications.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply lines where 1" and 3/4" threaded connections are present
• Light commercial plumbing installations requiring a dual-connection valve
• Retrofit projects that need adaptation between different thread sizes
• Shut-off control for appliances, meters, or branch lines

Key specifications

• Connection types: threaded 1" and threaded 3/4"
• Function: on/off ball valve with quarter-turn operation
• Fluid: suitable for cold and hot water supply
• Installation orientation: suitable for horizontal or vertical piping where threads match
• Compatibility: designed for standard threaded plumbing fittings

How to use

Install the valve by threading the appropriate connections into matching female fittings, ensuring proper engagement of threads and use of suitable sealing tape or compound on the threads if required. Operate the valve by turning the lever or handle a quarter turn to open or close the flow. After installation, check for leaks at the joints and tighten as necessary. For systems carrying hot water, allow the system to cool before servicing the valve.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, verify that the connection sizes on-site match the valve's 1" and 3/4" threads. Use appropriate thread sealing and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to threads. Periodic inspection and operation of the valve help maintain reliable performance in water supply systems.
