This nickel-plated Male × Female brass ball valve combines one male threaded end with one female threaded end in a compact ball-valve configuration.
The valve uses a red butterfly handle instead of a conventional long lever and is available in 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ sizes.
The supplied product catalogue confirms the connection arrangement, nickel-plated appearance, handle type and available sizes. Exact thread standard, working pressure, temperature range and internal material specification should be confirmed separately for the required order.
Specification Note:
Do not use the PN25 reducing-bore technical sheet from another ball-valve model for this product. The confirmed information for this 2137 model is Male × Female connection, nickel-plated finish, red butterfly handle and 1/2″–1″ size range.

Male × Female Threaded Connection
This valve has two different connection ends:
one male external thread and one female internal thread.
This connection arrangement can be useful where the valve needs to connect directly between components with different male/female interfaces.
Thread Standard Must Be Confirmed:
“Male × Female” describes the connection direction only. It does not identify whether the actual threads are BSPP, BSPT, NPT or another standard.
If you are unsure about the difference between common pipe-thread systems, see our
BSP vs NPT thread differences
.
Compact Butterfly Handle
The red butterfly handle is one of the most visible differences between this model and a conventional long-lever brass ball valve.
Its compact form reduces the amount of handle projection around the valve body, which can be useful when available operating space is limited.
Installation Check:
A compact handle does not automatically mean the valve will fit every confined installation. Buyers should still check the complete valve dimensions and required handle operating clearance before installation.
Nickel-Plated Brass Body
This model is supplied with a nickel-plated external finish rather than the natural brass appearance used on some other ball-valve models.
For purchasing and repeat orders, the required surface finish should be clearly stated together with the valve size and connection requirement so that different versions are not mixed during production.
What Should Buyers Confirm Before Ordering?
Confirm whether the required size is 1/2″, 3/4″ or 1″.
Confirm the exact thread system required for both the male and female connections.
Provide the required system pressure rather than assuming a rating from another similar-looking valve.
Provide the actual fluid or gas so the complete material and sealing specification can be evaluated.
Confirm the minimum and maximum operating temperature for the application.
For replacement or OEM projects, provide an existing sample or technical drawing when possible.
Why Should Buyers Not Select Only by Appearance?
Many small brass ball valves can look very similar from the outside while using different internal specifications.
Differences may include:
- Thread standard
- Working pressure
- Internal bore design
- Brass grade
- Ball construction
- Seat and seal materials
- Body weight and wall dimensions
Buyer Tip:
A product photo and nominal size are not enough for accurate replacement sourcing. Confirm the technical specification before comparing quotations from different suppliers.
Quality Control Points
For a small Male × Female brass ball valve, inspection should consider both the external appearance and the functional assembly.
- Nickel-plated surface condition
- Male thread condition
- Female thread condition
- Correct valve size
- Handle installation and operation
- Ball opening and closing movement
- Burrs and machining cleanliness
- Finished-valve sealing and pressure testing according to the agreed specification
Quality Control Note:
Thread inspection and finished-valve pressure testing serve different purposes. Correct threads confirm connection geometry, while functional testing verifies the assembled valve according to the agreed test requirements.

OEM and Replacement Projects
This type of compact brass ball valve is often sourced by matching an existing product or customer specification.
For OEM or replacement evaluation, useful information includes:
- Existing valve photo
- Physical sample
- Valve size
- Male and female thread requirements
- Working pressure
- Working medium
- Surface finish
- Packaging or marking requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available?
The supplied product catalogue shows 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ sizes.
What does Male × Female mean?
It means one valve connection has an external male thread and the opposite connection has an internal female thread.
What thread standard does this valve use?
The supplied catalogue image does not specify the exact thread standard. BSPP, BSPT, NPT or another required thread should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
What is the pressure rating?
The pressure rating is not confirmed by the supplied 2137 catalogue image and should not be copied from another similar ball-valve model.
Is this a reducing-bore PN25 ball valve?
That specification cannot be confirmed for this model from the supplied product information. The PN25 reducing-bore technical sheet provided separately appears to belong to a different ball-valve model.
Why use a butterfly handle?
The butterfly handle provides a more compact operating form than a conventional long lever. Actual installation clearance should still be checked before selection.
Can this valve be matched to an existing product?
Yes, the product can be evaluated against an existing sample, drawing or specification. The final feasibility of thread, pressure, material and other requirements should be confirmed before production.
