NIBCO INC. introduces extended metal locking levers for its 585 and 595 Series of Ball Valves, now available in sizes ¼" to 2".

The handle design features an extended neck and durable steel construction, making it ideal for installations that involve soldering without the need for handle disassembly to protect it from heat exposure. The extended neck allows for easy quarter-turn valve operation and accommodates up to 2 inches of pipe insulation.

Pre-formed holes in the lever allow for the simple installation of a ¼" padlock or ⅛" cable lock, providing a secure, tamper-resistant solution.

“This extended lever design enhances safety and performance for ball valves installed in insulated piping systems,” said Deanne De Keizer, product manager-ball valves, NIBCO. “Contractors now have multiple NIBCO ball valve accessories to install into insulated systems with greater ease and confidence, knowing the valve integrity remains protected throughout the process.”

For more information, visit Nibco's website.
