Description
The Valterra 1 1/2" Gate Valve FIPT x FIPT is a professional-grade PVC flow control valve engineered for precise water regulation in pond, water feature, and filtration plumbing systems. Designed with female threaded connections on both ends, this valve allows for secure installation while remaining serviceable when future system changes are required.
