Ball valve FERRO KM2 3/4" threaded water connection — manual shut-off

FERRO KM2 3/4" threaded ball valve is a manual shut-off valve designed for water installations. The valve uses a spherical closure to provide reliable on/off control and simple flow isolation in plumbing and heating systems. Its 3/4" threaded connections make it compatible with common pipe fittings used in domestic and light commercial supply lines, allowing use for fixture isolation, sectioning of circuits, and basic maintenance operations.

Advantages

The ball closure provides a tight seal and low pressure drop when fully open, enabling efficient flow with minimal resistance. Manual operation is straightforward and intuitive, allowing quick shut-off during maintenance or in emergency situations. The threaded 3/4" ends ensure compatibility with standard threaded fittings and adapters, simplifying installation in existing systems without requiring special tools. The valve construction is suitable for potable water and heating circuits where a durable, easy-to-use isolation point is needed.

Suitable for

• Domestic cold and hot water supply lines
• Heating circuit sectioning and radiator isolation
• Fixture isolation for sinks, toilets, and appliances
• Light commercial plumbing where threaded 3/4" connections are used
• Temporary shut-off during repair and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Connection type: 3/4" threaded ends compatible with standard pipe fittings
• Valve type: ball valve for manual on/off operation
• Media: water (cold and hot water supply, suitable for heating circuits)
• Operation: manual handle for quick open/close action
• Typical applications: plumbing fixtures, supply lines, heating sections

How to use

Install the valve into the pipeline using appropriate thread sealant or tape on the male threads to ensure a leak-free joint. Position the valve so the handle is accessible for operation. To shut off flow, turn the handle perpendicular to the pipe axis until it stops; to open, align the handle parallel to the pipe. Check for leaks after installation by pressurizing the line and inspecting threaded connections. Operate the valve periodically to ensure smooth movement and to prevent seizing in long-term installations.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve within the temperature and pressure ranges typical for domestic water and heating systems. Avoid using the valve with aggressive chemicals or media other than potable water or standard heating fluids. When installing in concealed or hard-to-access locations, verify handle clearance for operation and plan for future maintenance access.
