Ball valve for water RED R023405002 with 3/4" connection and integrated butterfly stem seal

RED ball valve R023405002 is a compact water shut-off valve with a 3/4" threaded connection and an integrated butterfly-style stem seal. Designed for residential and light-commercial plumbing, the valve provides direct on/off control of water flow and reduces the risk of stem leakage through its built-in butterfly seal. Its straightforward design supports installation in pipelines, heating circuits and maintenance points where reliable isolation is required.

Advantages

The valve combines a standard 3/4" threaded connection with a ball closure for quick and positive shut-off. The integrated butterfly-style stem seal minimises leakage at the stem without the need for additional packing or sealants, while the metal body offers mechanical durability under typical operating conditions. The actuator provides clear visual indication of the open/closed position, simplifying operation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Water supply pipelines in residential buildings
• Heating circuit shut-off points and maintenance bypasses
• Tap-off isolation for fixtures and appliances
• Temporary or permanent isolation during repairs and replacements

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4" threaded
• Function: ball valve for on/off water control
• Stem sealing: integrated butterfly-style stem seal to reduce leakage
• Body material: metal construction suitable for plumbing use
• Operation: manual lever for open/closed indication

How to use

Install the valve into the pipeline using the 3/4" threaded connection, ensuring thread sealant or tape is applied to the male threads as required by the installation practice. Position the valve so the lever is accessible for manual operation. Turn the lever 90° to move between fully open and fully closed positions. Inspect the stem area after initial pressurisation to confirm the integrated butterfly seal is functioning and no external leakage occurs.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, operate the valve periodically to prevent seizing and inspect threaded joints for correct sealing. Use in systems within the valve's specified pressure and temperature limits and avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that could damage the metal body or stem seal. Replace the valve if persistent leaks occur or if mechanical damage to the body or lever is observed.
