Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 404230 1 1/2 Inch F & T Valve,15#,Ft015C

The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 404230 is a 1.5-inch F&T valve, which means it has female threads on one end for screwing into a pipe and male threads on the other to connect to another threaded component. It's probably employed to regulate the flow of liquids, such as water, in hydronic heating and cooling systems. It is appropriate for low-pressure applications because of its 15 psi pressure rating. According to the FT015C classification, it features a bronze trim that resists corrosion and a cast iron body for longevity. A screw mechanism inside the valve opens or shuts a channel to control fluid flow when a handle or lever is rotated. This enables personnel to control water flow to various zones and isolate particular system components for upkeep or repairs.
