Dwyer Instruments SWBV-04 | Sweat connection brass ball valve | 600 psi | Full port | 1"
The Dwyer SWBV-05 is an economical 1-1/4" hand-lever brass ball valve designed for commercial and industrial copper piping. It features sweat (solder) connections, a full-port flow path, and a 600 psi maximum pressure rating, making it suitable for general shutoff applications on water and process lines.
Part No.: SWBV-05
The Dwyer SWBV-05 is a hand-lever brass ball valve designed for direct installation on copper pipework using sweat (solder) connections rather than threaded fittings. Its brass body, stem, and cap provide a durable construction, while PTFE seats and stem packing support reliable sealing and smooth valve operation.
The valve uses a full-port bore, helping maintain low flow resistance when the valve is fully open compared with a reduced-port valve of the same nominal size. Its blowout-proof stem design keeps the stem securely captive, including under overpressure conditions.
With a 600 psi maximum pressure rating, the SWBV-05 is suitable for commercial and industrial water and process lines where a reliable manual shutoff valve is required for 1-1/4" copper piping.
If a different connection size is required, the Dwyer range also includes the SWBV-04, a 1" sweat-connection brass ball valve with a 600 psi pressure rating.
