L4260 Lift-To-Turn Laboratory Gas Ball Valve w/ Removable Hose End

The WaterSaver Faucet Co.'s L4260 series laboratory ball valves have a spring-loaded handle that locks in the closed position. To open these valves, the user must lift while turning to unlock, a feature that prevents accidental activation. This safety feature is required for flammable gas service under certain plumbing codes (please check before ordering). These valves are designed for on/off control of natural gas only. This valve is certified for gas service by the American Gas Association (AGA) and the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) and is recommended for ADA-compliant applications.

The valve body is forged brass with a polished chrome plated finish. The inlet and outlet are both 3/8" NPT female and the outlet has a removable ten-serration hose end that varies in diameter from ~1/2" down to 5/16". The L4260CV version includes an internal floating check to prevent back flow into gas system, and may be required under your local plumbing codes (please check before ordering).

NOTE: These valves are available for natural gas or other burning gas service only; use with other gases is not supported/recommended by WaterSaver. For use with other gases, select the L4200 valve which is similar but lacks the life-to-turn feature. To special order these valves for use with propane (black handle and a pink index button), please contact us.

Each unit is fully assembled and factory tested prior to shipment. 

Installation guidelines are available on-line. The specification drawing is available as a PDF file.

A wide variety of mounting options are available including deck-mounted turrets (L4260-131 series), panel mounted (L4260-158 series), and wall/overhead/panel mounted (L4260-141 series)

FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY.
