Dwyer Instruments SWBV-02 | Sweat connection brass ball valve | 600 psi | Full port | 1/2"
The Dwyer SWBV-02 is an economical 1/2" 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 for reliable manual shutoff applications.
Part No.: SWBV-02
The Dwyer SWBV-02 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 durable construction, while PTFE seats and stem packing support reliable sealing and smooth valve operation.
The valve features a full-port bore, helping keep flow resistance and pressure drop low when the valve is fully open compared with a reduced-port valve of the same size. Its blowout-proof stem design helps keep the stem securely captive under overpressure conditions.
Rated to 600 psi for its 1/2" size, the SWBV-02 is suitable for general shutoff duty on commercial and industrial water and process lines using copper pipework.
If a different pipe size is required, the Dwyer range also includes the SWBV-01, a 3/8" sweat-connection brass ball valve with a 600 psi pressure rating.
