Ball valve FERRO KFP3 for water with handle, 1" female–female, F-POWER series

FERRO KFP3 is a 1" female-to-female ball valve designed for water installations within the F-POWER series. The valve provides a full-bore passage for unobstructed flow and simple manual shut-off using a lever handle. Constructed for typical plumbing and heating circuits, it is intended for residential and light commercial water supply applications where reliable on/off control is required.

Advantages

The ball valve features a full-bore design that minimises pressure drop and allows unrestricted flow when open. The manual handle provides clear tactile feedback and quick visual indication of open or closed position. Durable materials and straightforward construction support long service life and ease of maintenance. The female-to-female threaded connections make the valve compatible with standard pipe fittings and enable straightforward inline replacement.

Suitable for

• Domestic cold and hot water supply lines
• Heating circuits in residential buildings
• Service and isolation points in light commercial plumbing
• Replacement or retrofit tasks in existing water installations

Key specifications

• Connection type: female-to-female threaded, 1"
• Function: full-bore ball valve for on/off control
• Operation: manual lever handle
• Application media: water (potable and heating systems)
• Series: F-POWER

How to use

Install the valve inline using compatible 1" fittings and ensure thread seals are applied according to standard plumbing practice. Rotate the lever 90° to switch between open and closed positions; when the handle is parallel to the valve body the passage is open, when perpendicular it is closed. Before maintenance or replacement, isolate the relevant section of the system and drain residual water to avoid leakage. Regularly inspect threaded joints and the handle for signs of wear or loosening.

Usage recommendations

Use the FERRO KFP3 ball valve where a compact, manually operated shut-off point is required. For best performance, avoid exposing the valve to aggressive chemicals, excessive torque on the handle, or freezing conditions. When installed in heating systems, follow the system manufacturer’s guidelines for pressure and temperature limits.
