kfa² ball valve threaded-threaded 1/2" water model 700-110-15

The kfa² ball valve threaded-threaded 1/2" water model 700-110-15 is a compact shut-off valve intended for water installations. It features a rotary ball closure and threaded connections on both ends for direct coupling to compatible pipes and fittings. The valve's metal construction provides mechanical strength and resistance to routine wear in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Its nominal connection size is 1/2" and it is designed to deliver reliable on/off flow control with a simple quarter-turn operation.

Advantages

The valve offers straightforward operation with a quarter-turn handle for rapid shutoff and opening. Threaded-threaded ends eliminate the need for additional adapters when matching standard 1/2" threaded fittings, enabling quick installation or replacement. Metal construction increases durability and mechanical stability compared with many plastic alternatives, while the ball closure design ensures a tight seal and minimal pressure drop when fully open. The compact form factor makes it suitable for installations where space is limited.

Suitable for

• Residential hot and cold water supply lines
• Plumbing repair and maintenance tasks
• Small commercial water distribution circuits
• Connection to threaded fittings, hoses, and pipe sections

Key specifications

• Connection type: threaded on both ends, nominal size 1/2"
• Function: ball valve for on/off flow control with quarter-turn operation
• Intended medium: water
• Body material: metal construction for increased durability
• Seal type: ball closure providing tight shutoff when closed
• Installation orientation: suitable for horizontal or vertical pipe runs

How to use

Shut off the upstream supply before installing the valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threads of the mating fittings to ensure leak-free joints, then hand-start the valve onto the fittings and tighten with a wrench using moderate force to avoid damaging threads. Operate the handle with a quarter-turn to open or close the flow; verify the valve is fully open or fully closed by aligning the handle with the flow direction or perpendicular to it. After installation, slowly restore water supply and inspect all threaded connections for leaks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid excessive torque on threaded connections and cycle the valve periodically if it remains idle for long periods. Use in water systems within the valve's temperature and pressure limits typical for domestic and light commercial applications, and replace seals if persistent leakage is observed.
