Meet the Homewerks 1/2 in. Brass Press Ball Valve with Full Port and Lever—an engineered solution for fast, reliable water control in modern plumbing. Designed for 1/2" press fittings, this valve blends durable brass construction with a smooth, low-effort lever so you can shut off or open water flow with a confident, single motion.
Why this valve stands out
Full-port design means unobstructed flow through the valve, minimizing pressure loss and ensuring steady delivery to fixtures and appliances. The lever handle provides intuitive operation, even after long days on the job or in tight under-sink spaces. Built with a two-piece brass body, it’s engineered for straightforward installation and easier future servicing, should internal parts ever need attention. And because it’s low-lead, it meets essential safety standards for residential drinking water systems.

Installation, use, and maintenance tips
Prepare the workflow by ensuring you have the correct 1/2" press jaws for your tubing material (PEX/CPVC or copper-compatible systems). Cut cleanly, deburr the ends, and verify the tubing is fully seated before pressing. After installation, perform a standard pressure test to confirm a watertight seal. For serviceability, the two-piece body design simplifies disassembly if you ever need to reseat seals or replace internal components.
