Brass Swivel Ferrule Valve with compression adaptor（NR-F004）

Brass Swivel Ferrule Valve with compression adaptor Specifications

Product Overview: Versatile Brass Valve for Multi-Pipe Compatibility

The Brass Swivel Ferrule Valve with Compression Adaptor NR-F004, from Raising Valve’s ISO 9001-certified lineup, is a flexible fluid control solution designed for diverse plumbing needs. Crafted from high-quality brass (CW617N, DZR CW602N, lead-free C46500/CW511L), this valve combines durability with adaptability—ideal for plumbing, HVAC, irrigation, and industrial systems. It operates at 16 bar working pressure and -20℃ to 120℃, ensuring performance in both cold and hot applications. The swivel ferrule enables easy alignment, while the compression adaptor connects to multiple pipe types (e.g., PE, PEX, copper). Available in sizes 1/2”x20mm, 3/4"x25mm, 1"x32mm with BSP/NPT threads, it complies with BS1010 standards, guaranteeing reliability across residential and industrial settings.

Product Features: Adaptability, Leak Prevention, and Precision Control

Premium Brass Construction for Durability and Safety

The valve’s brass material offers exceptional corrosion resistance, pressure tolerance, and wear resistance—even in harsh environments (e.g., industrial HVAC systems). Lead-free brass variants meet potable water standards, making it safe for residential use (e.g., drinking water lines). DZR brass options provide extra corrosion protection for outdoor applications (e.g., irrigation).

Swivel Ferrule for Flexible Installation

The swivel ferrule allows 360-degree rotation during setup, simplifying alignment with pipes of different angles or layouts. This eliminates the need for extra fittings (e.g., tees, elbows), reducing installation time and costs. It also minimizes stress on pipe connections, lowering the risk of leaks or pipe damage.

Compression Adaptor for Multi-Pipe Compatibility

A unique feature, the compression adaptor works with PE, PEX, and copper pipes—no need for separate valves for different materials. The adaptor uses a reusable compression ring: tightening the nut creates a leak-tight seal, even in high-pressure systems (up to 16 bar). This versatility makes the NR-F004 a one-stop solution for mixed-pipe projects.

Precise Flow Control Mechanism

The valve’s ball-style design enables quick on/off operation and precise flow adjustment. This is critical for applications like HVAC (regulating water flow to heaters/coolers) or irrigation (adjusting water pressure to sprinklers), ensuring optimal performance and energy/water savings.

Applications: Plumbing, HVAC, Irrigation, and Industrial Systems

Residential and Commercial Plumbing

Homeowners and contractors use the NR-F004 in potable water lines (e.g., under sinks, behind appliances) and wastewater lines. The compression adaptor works with PE/PEX pipes (common in new builds) and copper pipes (common in retrofits), simplifying mixed-material projects.

HVAC Systems

In commercial buildings or industrial facilities, the valve regulates water flow to heating or cooling units. The brass body resists corrosion from HVAC fluids, and the precise flow control ensures efficient temperature regulation—reducing energy costs.

Agricultural and Landscape Irrigation

The valve controls water flow to drip, sprinkler, or spray irrigation systems. The DZR brass option resists outdoor corrosion, and the swivel ferrule simplifies alignment with underground PE pipes. The compression adaptor also allows easy connection to above-ground copper lines.

Industrial Fluid Control

In light industrial settings (e.g., manufacturing, food processing), the valve regulates non-corrosive fluids (e.g., coolants, sanitizers). The leak-tight compression seal prevents fluid waste, and the brass body withstands moderate pressure fluctuations.

FAQ: Common Questions About NR-F004

Can the compression adaptor be reused if I reposition the pipe?

Yes. Loosen the compression nut, remove the pipe, reposition it, and retighten the nut. Inspect the compression ring for wear—replace it if it is cracked or deformed to maintain a leak-tight seal.

Is the valve suitable for drinking water systems?

Yes, lead-free brass variants (C46500/CW511L) meet NSF/ANSI 61 standards for potable water, making them safe for drinking water lines.

What is the difference between DZR brass and standard brass?

DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass has added elements (e.g., arsenic) to prevent corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. It is recommended for irrigation or outdoor plumbing, while standard brass works for indoor applications.

How do I choose the right size for my pipes?

Match the valve size to your pipe diameter: 1/2”x20mm for 20mm pipes, 3/4"x25mm for 25mm pipes, and 1"x32mm for 32mm pipes. Contact Raising’s support if you need help with non-standard pipe sizes.

Does the valve require professional installation?

DIY installation is possible for residential use (follow the included guide). For commercial/industrial systems (e.g., HVAC, manufacturing), professional installation is recommended to ensure compliance with safety codes.
