MT 40922020 Water Valve 3/4 inch FF with Long Handle

The MT 40922020 water valve is a robust and reliable component designed for precise flow control in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Featuring a 3/4 inch female-to-female connection, this valve is engineered to provide a secure shut-off and consistent performance. The inclusion of an extended handle significantly improves leverage, making it easier to operate even in tight spaces or when frequent adjustments are required.

Advantages

This water valve stands out due to its durable construction, which ensures longevity and resistance to wear in standard water supply applications. The extended handle design offers superior ergonomic benefits, allowing for smooth and effortless operation compared to standard short-handle valves. Its high-quality build guarantees a tight seal, effectively preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity over time.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply lines
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Isolation of water flow for maintenance
• General water distribution systems

This valve may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems involving aggressive chemicals that could degrade the internal sealing materials. It is also not intended for use in gas distribution lines or environments where the temperature exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for standard plumbing valves.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4 inch
• Connection type: Female to female
• Handle type: Extended lever
• Application: Water supply systems

To install the valve, ensure the water supply is completely shut off and the pipes are drained. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before screwing the valve onto the connections. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the valve, ensuring it is aligned correctly for easy access to the handle. Once installed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for any signs of leakage around the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing pipe diameter matches the 3/4 inch connection size.
• Ensure there is sufficient clearance in the installation area to accommodate the extended handle.
• Check that the female-to-female thread configuration is compatible with your current piping setup.

Regularly inspect the valve for signs of corrosion or mineral buildup and operate the handle at least once every few months to ensure the internal mechanism remains free and functional.
