This Invena 6/4" (1 1/2") Female x Female ball valve is designed for residential and commercial water systems, offering quick and reliable shut-off control. Its steel handle with a red lever allows for a 1/4 turn operation, making it easy to manage flow. While it's robust for water applications, it is not suitable for gas or other fluid types. Key features include a durable PPSE choke, a maximum working temperature of 120°C, and a pressure rating of 1.0 MPa for its size.

The maximum working pressure for the 6/4" (1 1/2") size is 1.0 MPa.
No, this valve is strictly designed for water systems only and should not be used for gas, oil, or other fluid types.
The red lever serves as a visual indicator. When the lever is parallel to the pipe, the valve is open. When it is perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is closed.
This refers to the nominal pipe size, commonly understood as 1 1/2 inches. The connection type is Female x Female.
The valve is rated for a maximum working temperature of 120°C.
This valve has female threads on both ports. You will need to connect it to male-threaded pipes or fittings using appropriate thread sealing methods like PTFE tape.
The choke, or the sealing component for the ball, is made of PPSE.
Ensure the packing nut (if applicable, though not explicitly detailed) is snug. Over time, the seals may wear; replacement of the valve might be necessary if leaks persist.
Ensure the valve is fully installed and not under excessive stress. If the valve has been in one position for a long time, try working the lever back and forth gently. Debris in the line could also cause resistance.
Check for debris caught in the valve seat. Try cycling the valve open and closed a few times. If the issue persists, the internal seal may be damaged, and the valve may need replacement.
Clean the handle with a damp cloth. If significant corrosion or damage is present, the handle may need replacement, or the entire valve unit.
