With 1/4" NPT male and female threaded connections, it seamlessly integrates into piping systems, supporting pressures up to 400 psi and temperatures up to 400°F. Ideal for air, water, and inert gas applications, this valve delivers durable, high-performance flow control trusted by professionals. ## Description This Kingston KMBVM Series mini ball valve is made of chrome-plated brass for higher corrosion resistance than regular brass or steel, and has a lever handle for on/off manual control, and full port flow for higher operating efficiency than standard port. This inline valve has 1/4" male and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting a female threaded pipe and a male threaded pipe going in the same direction. This full port ball valve is pressure rated to 400 pounds per square inch (psi) at a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F, and is suitable for use in air, water, or inert gas applications. Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve and is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter or the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and termed reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball’s position (open or closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications.Kingston manufactures safety valves, check valves, and flow control valves for industrial applications. The company, founded in 1908, is headquartered in Torrance, CA. ## Features - Chrome-plated brass for higher corrosion resistance than regular brass or steel - Lever handle for on/off manual control - Full port flow for higher operating efficiency than standard port - Inline valve for connecting two pipes going in the same direction - Female and male NPT threads for connecting male threaded pipe fittings to female threaded pipe fittings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006U4E9F2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #225,027 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #1,022 in Ball Valves | | Brand | Kingston Valves | | Brand Name | Kingston Valves | | Connector Type | Threaded | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 587 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Steel | | Inlet Connection Size | 0.25 inches | | Inlet Connection Type | National Pipe Tapered | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kingston Valves | | Manufacturer Part Number | KMBVM-2 | | Material | Brass | | Material Type | Brass | | Model Number | KMBVM-2B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Outlet Connection Size | 0.25 inches | | Outlet Connection Type | MNPT | | Size | 0.25 Inch | | Specification Met | ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B16.34 | | Thread Size | 1/4 inches | | Thread Type | NPT | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Valve Type | Ball Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kingston Valves - **Exterior Finish:** Steel - **Inlet Connection Size:** 0.25 inches - **Inlet Connection Type:** National Pipe Tapered - **Material:** Brass - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Number of Ports:** 2 - **Outlet Connection Size:** 0.25 inches - **Outlet Connection Type:** MNPT - **Specification Met:** ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B16.34 ## Images ![Kingston KMBVM Series Brass Mini Ball Valve, Lever, 1/4" NPT Male x NPT Female - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nVU8jyNCL.jpg) ![Kingston KMBVM Series Brass Mini Ball Valve, Lever, 1/4" NPT Male x NPT Female - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gbKuzGB5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone tested this over the 400psi limit listed here? I plan on using up to around 1500psi.** A: As someone with a significant amount of experience with high-pressure air systems (up to 8,000 psi), I strongly suggest that you get an appropriately rated valve. At 1,500 psi, there is a strong possibility for a 400 psi valve to fail catastrophically. You don't want to be near it when it does. Trust me! **Q: Is this valve suitable for potable water?** A: The product is simply chrome plated brass, so as long as it is fresh water, I'd say certainly. I use these on my RO/DI water filtration units with no problems.If on the other hand you were using this for saltwater applications youd want to go with a stainless steel product such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Mini-Ball-Valve/dp/B00H9KEVWC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411783840&sr=8-3&keywords=stainless+steel+mini+ball+valve **Q: Is the valve rated for usage in oil (WOG) on a small engine? Thanks** A: I have used mine for 50:1 gas oil mix for an outboard motor and no problems yet. **Q: How does this hold up as far as leakage? Would like to use several on a vacuum manifold - need to maintain 29.5hg when closed...** A: It does a good job holding a vacuum. That's what I use them for. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/666455-kingston-kmbvm-series-brass-mini-ball-valve-lever-1-4](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/666455-kingston-kmbvm-series-brass-mini-ball-valve-lever-1-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
