Plast-O-Matic Trunnion Ball Valves are available with an adapter for easy and compact connection to standard plumbing tees, resulting in substantially stronger and more compact valve connection to lateral piping. This design eliminates the need for a reducer, additional length of pipe, and one of the end connections on the ball valve.

Advantages over traditional ball valve tee connections:
•  Faster plumbing — reduces labor.
•  The overall length is shorter; valve body is partly inside the plumbing tee.
•  Design enables removal of valve and access to internals.
•  Resists piping stresses better than traditional “reducer” connections.
•  Eliminates potential variations in pipefitting.
•  Assembly is substantially stronger than pipe + reducer + fittings.

Use in place of zero dead-leg valves:
•  Lower cost.
•  Virgin, non-pigmented Kynar PVDF and Natural Polypro compatible with all butt fusion piping systems.
•  Zero-static area* similar in size to diaphragm valve; uses same concept of turbulence/flushing action to prevent deadleg.
•  Valve is threaded into adapter — a true union — easier maintenance, easier changes in piping system.
