Sourcing shut-off water valve R253DL 3/4 in long handle, brass, 3/4" inlet/outlet

Sourcing R253DL is a 3/4-inch shut-off water valve with a long handle, made from brass for use in domestic and commercial plumbing systems. The valve features a compact body and a manual quarter-turn mechanism that enables positive shut-off of water supply lines. Designed for straightforward isolation of sections of piping, the Sourcing R253DL fits standard 3/4" inlet and outlet connections and is suitable for installation on supply lines, service connections, and maintenance points where a durable, easy-to-operate valve is required.

Advantages

The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for reliable operation over time. The long handle gives improved leverage for easier quarter-turn actuation, reducing effort during opening and closing. The compact design allows installation in confined spaces while keeping access for manual operation. The valve's simple mechanism supports low-maintenance use and predictable shut-off performance for routine plumbing tasks.

Suitable for

• Domestic cold and hot water supply lines
• Service isolation for sinks, washing machines and boilers
• Maintenance shut-off points in apartments and commercial premises
• Replacement of existing 3/4" inline stop valves

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4" inlet and outlet
• Body material: brass
• Operation: manual quarter-turn with long handle
• Flow control: full bore shut-off
• Installation orientation: suitable for horizontal or vertical pipe runs

How to use

Install the valve in the pipeline using appropriate fittings and sealants for 3/4" connections, ensuring thread compatibility and a leak-free joint. Operate the valve by turning the long handle 90 degrees: parallel to the pipe for open flow and perpendicular for shut-off. Before installation or servicing, isolate the main supply and depressurize the system. After mounting, check for leaks under pressure and confirm smooth operation through a full open/close cycle.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve within the temperature and pressure limits of typical domestic plumbing; avoid excessive torque when turning the handle and perform periodic visual inspections for corrosion or leaks to maintain reliable operation.
