1-1/4" Brass Ball Valve Threaded - Lead Free (945-LF)

The 1-1/4" Lead Free Brass Ball Valve (945-LF) delivers reliable quarter-turn shut-off for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems. Built with a lead-free brass body to meet NSF 372 and Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, this valve is approved for potable water service and is the right choice wherever local plumbing codes require lead-free compliant components.

Female NPT threaded connections on both ends make installation straightforward — thread onto standard 1-1/4" NPT pipe or fittings using pipe tape or thread sealant and you're done. No solvents, press tools, or specialty equipment required. The full port ball design keeps the flow path open to the pipe's full interior bore, minimizing turbulence and pressure drop — an important advantage on 1-1/4" supply lines and branch runs serving equipment, fixtures, or distribution manifolds downstream.

The chrome-plated brass ball rotates against PTFE seats for a bubble-tight shut-off with low operating torque that holds up over years of service. The steel lever handle provides quick, positive on/off actuation, with handle orientation giving a clear visual indication of valve status at all times — parallel to the pipe is open, perpendicular is closed.

At 600 WOG (Water, Oil, Gas) rated, the 945-LF meets the pressure demands of most commercial and industrial applications with a solid margin of safety.
