Ball valve Valvex TRYTON 3/4" water model 1453160

Valvex TRYTON 3/4" water model 1453160 is a compact threaded ball valve intended for controlling and isolating water flow in domestic and light commercial plumbing systems. The valve features a full-bore ball closure that provides low pressure drop in the open position and a simple quarter-turn operation for quick on/off control. Threaded ends enable straightforward installation with compatible fittings and short pipe runs; the design is suitable for routine shut-off, maintenance and repair tasks in water supply lines.

Advantages

The full-bore ball design ensures minimal flow restriction when open and reliable sealing when closed, reducing the risk of leaks during isolation. The quarter-turn mechanism offers fast and unambiguous operation, while the threaded connection simplifies retrofits and replacements without specialized tools. The valve's compact form factor makes it easy to fit into limited spaces and to integrate with standard plumbing components.

Suitable for

• Isolation of domestic cold and hot water supply lines
• Shut-off during plumbing maintenance and repair
• Use in household appliances and equipment supply lines
• Integration in short pipe runs, manifolds and distribution branches

Key specifications

• Valve type: ball valve with quarter-turn operation
• Connection type: external threaded ends for pipe fittings
• Nominal size: 3/4"
• Flow characteristic: full-bore (minimal pressure loss when open)
• Media: water (domestic cold and hot water systems)
• Typical use: shut-off/isolation for maintenance and repair

How to use

Before installation, ensure the pipe and fitting threads are clean and compatible with a 3/4" threaded valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by local practice, then tighten the valve into the pipe fittings by hand and finish with a wrench to the recommended snugness—avoid over-tightening. Operate the valve by turning the handle 90° to open or close; the handle position indicates flow status. For maintenance, fully close the valve to isolate the downstream section, relieve pressure and drain the line before performing work.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve within the pressure and temperature limits of the plumbing system and follow local plumbing codes. Regularly inspect for signs of leakage and ensure the handle remains freely operable; exercise the valve occasionally to prevent seizing in long-term installations.
