- L4260-131 Series Laboratory Lift-To-Turn Gas Ball Valves w/ Deck Mounted Turrets
Product Description
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 following configurations are available:
- L4260-131WSA - Turret with one L4260 valve.
- L4260-132AWSA - Turret with two L4260 valves 90° apart
- L4260-132SWSA - Turret with two L4260 valves 180° apart
- L4260-132AWSA - Turret with three L4260 valves 90° apart
- L4260-132AWSA - Turret with four L4260 valves 90° apart
The chrome-plated brass turret is furnished complete with a 3/8" NPT brass mounting shank, locknut and washer. The valve body and handle are forged brass with a polished chrome plated finish. The valve units features a quarter-turn open/close, a chrome-plated brass ball with molded TFE seals, and 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 L4200-131 series valves which are similar but lack 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.
