Dwyer Instruments DBV-00 | Brass ball valve | 600 psi | Full port | 1/4"
The Dwyer DBV-00 brass ball valve is an economical 1/4" female-NPT hand-lever valve designed for commercial and industrial shutoff applications. Its full-port design helps minimize flow restriction when fully open, while the brass construction, PTFE seats and stem packing, and blowout-proof stem provide dependable manual operation.
Rated to 600 psi, the DBV-00 is suitable for general water and process shutoff points where 1/4" threaded connections are required.
Part Number: DBV-00
The Dwyer DBV-00 features 1/4" female NPT connections on both ends, making it suitable for compatible threaded commercial and industrial piping systems. The valve body, cap, and stem are constructed from brass, while PTFE seats and stem packing provide a durable, low-friction sealing arrangement.
A blowout-proof stem helps keep the stem captive under overpressure. The full-port bore matches the internal diameter of the pipe, helping minimize flow restriction when the valve is fully open.
With a 600 psi maximum pressure rating, the DBV-00 is a low-lead brass ball valve intended for straightforward manual shutoff applications involving general water and process piping.
For applications requiring a larger connection, the Dwyer range also includes the DBV-01, a 3/8" NPT brass ball valve with the same 600 psi pressure rating.
