Price range: $288.08 through $455.13

Do you need to control the flow of water to different sections of your operation?

Lever valves, also known as lever-operated valves, are commonly used in water irrigation systems to control the flow of water. These valves feature a lever handle that can be manually operated to open or close the valve. Lever valves are simple, reliable, and easy to operate, making them suitable for various applications in water irrigation.

In irrigation systems, lever valves are typically installed along the pipeline to regulate water flow to different sections or zones. They can be used to turn water on or off to specific areas or adjust the flow rate as needed. Lever valves are commonly found in sprinkler systems, drip irrigation systems, and other types of agricultural and landscaping irrigation setups.

For decades Metaltecnica Zanolo (MZ) has been an industry leader in valve manufacturing.

Imported from Italy, you can guarantee their valves are of the highest quality.

This valve is a MZ Brass Lever Valve (NPT x NPT) available in 4″ and 6″ sizes.

Description

The MZ Brass Lever Valve (NPT x NPT) is a type of manual shut-off valve commonly used in various fluid handling applications, including irrigation. Here’s a detailed look at what it is and how it’s used:

Description:

  • MZ: Refers to the brand or manufacturer of the valve, known for producing high-quality valves and fittings.
  • Brass: Indicates that the valve is made of brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant alloy ideal for water and other fluid applications. Brass is commonly used in valves due to its excellent machinability, strength, and resistance to corrosion.
  • Lever Valve: A manual valve that operates using a lever handle. The handle allows for quick and easy control of the valve to start or stop the flow of fluid.
  • NPT x NPT: Denotes the type of threaded connections on both ends of the valve. NPT (National Pipe Thread) is a standard U.S. threading type used for pipes and fittings. This means the valve can be connected directly to pipes or other components with compatible NPT threads.

Uses:

  1. Flow Control: The MZ Brass Lever Valve is primarily used to manually start, stop, or regulate the flow of water or other fluids in an irrigation system.
  2. Irrigation Systems: It is often installed in mainlines or lateral lines of an irrigation network to control water distribution to specific areas. This makes it easier to isolate sections for maintenance, repair, or to direct water flow to different parts of the field.
  3. Versatile Applications: Besides irrigation, this type of valve can be used in residential plumbing, commercial water systems, and various industrial fluid applications due to its reliability and ease of operation.
  4. Durability: The brass construction ensures a long service life, as it can withstand high pressure, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to water without significant wear or corrosion.

Benefits:

  • Ease of Use: The lever handle design allows for quick operation, making it easy to turn the valve on or off with a simple motion.
  • Secure Connection: The NPT threads provide a tight and secure connection that helps prevent leaks.
  • Resilience: Brass is a strong material that can handle high-pressure environments, ensuring the valve performs well in demanding irrigation setups.

Common Applications:

  • Agricultural Irrigation: Used to control water supply in large farms for crops or livestock watering systems.
  • Landscaping: Helps manage water flow in garden or park irrigation systems.
  • Greenhouse Operations: Regulates water supply to different sections for optimal plant watering.
  • General Plumbing: Suitable for water systems where manual control of water flow is required.

Overall, the MZ Brass Lever Valve (NPT x NPT) is a reliable and efficient component for controlling the flow of water or fluids in a variety of settings. Its brass construction ensures durability and longevity, while the NPT threading makes it compatible with standard piping systems.
