{"product_id":"trimeline-1-1-2-ball-valve","title":"Hayward Trimline 1-1\/2\" Ball Valve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward SP0723S is the Trimline ball valve in 1-1\/2 inch, with a 1-1\/2 inch male pipe thread on one end and a 1-1\/2 inch solvent weld socket on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it earns its place\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBall valves are how you make equipment serviceable. Put one on each side of a pump, a heater or a feeder and that piece can be opened, cleaned or swapped without draining the whole system or plugging lines in a hurry. A quarter turn takes the valve from fully open to fully closed, and there is nothing inside to slowly seize the way an old gate valve does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MIP end threads into a female fitting, and the socket end glues straight to 1-1\/2 inch pipe. That combination suits tying into an existing threaded port on equipment while running solvent welded pipe on the other side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstalling it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrap the male thread with sealant tape and tighten it by hand plus a modest turn with a strap. Plastic threads do not need the force metal pipe does, and the usual outcome of overtightening is a split in the fitting the valve is going into rather than a leak at the valve itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634493599956,"sku":"HAY-56-4148","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_4430b60b-84b7-406e-8019-2ff63bff8e15.jpg?v=1788832757","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/trimeline-1-1-2-ball-valve","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
