PROCURU 1-In Press Copper Ball Valve 2-Pack - Full Port, Heavy Duty

In this review the PROCURU 2-Pack 1-in Press Copper Ball Valve is assessed for plumbing pros and competent DIYers who need a reliable shutoff on hard copper pipe. The bottom line: it is a straightforward, professional-grade press ball valve that replaces similar press fittings and delivers a full port flow with heavy duty brass construction, making it ideal where durability and potable water safety matter. The valve requires a press copper tool to install, so it is best for users who already own or can access press tooling.

Key Features

• 1 in Press Connections: Allows quick connection to hard copper pipe types K, L and M when used with a compatible press copper tool for secure joints.
• Full Port Design: Provides unrestricted flow through the valve for minimal pressure drop and easier servicing of downstream fixtures.
• Heavy Duty Brass Body: Built to withstand everyday mechanical stress on supply lines and resist corrosion in potable water installations.
• LF Certified Safe: NSF certified and lead free, making it suitable for potable drinking water systems where health compliance is required.
• Professional Grade Warranty: Backed by a 10 year warranty, offering long term confidence for trade use and remodel projects.
• Pressure Rated: Rated up to 250 PSI, accommodating a wide range of residential and light commercial applications.

Who It's For

The valve is best suited to plumbers, contractors and experienced DIYers who work with hard copper pipe and already have access to a press copper tool or plan to rent one. Its professional-grade construction and NSF certification make it a good choice for kitchen, bathroom and other potable water shutoff needs.

It is less suitable for users who need a push-to-connect or threaded valve, or for those who lack access to press tooling; installation requires a press tool and compatible jaws, which are not included with the valve pack.
