Series LFB6000, LFB6001 2-Piece, Standard Port, Lead Free*
Ball Valves feature a blowout proof pressure retaining 316 stainless
steel stem. The LFB6000, LFB6001’s standard port orifice ensures
minimal pressure drop, while Durafill ® and Uniseal ® seats and 316
stainless steel ball provide lasting service for a wide range of liq-
uids and gases. The Series LFB6000 and LFB6001 feature Lead
Free* construction to comply with Lead Free* installation require-
ments.

**This valve is designed to be soft soldered into lines without disas-
sembly, using a low temperature solder 420°F (216°C). Other solders
such as 95/5 tin antimony 460°F (238°C) or 96/4 tin silver 420°F
(216°C) can be used, however extreme caution must be used to pre-
vent seat damage. Higher temperature solders will damage the seat
material. ANSI B.16.18 states that the maximum operating pressure
of 50-50 solder connections is 200 psi (14 bar) at 100°F (38°C) and
decreases with higher temperatures.
Apply heat with the flame directed AWAY from the center of the valve
body. Excessive heat can harm the seats. After soldering, the packing
nut may have to be tightened.
