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