Philmac IPS-ID (SIDR) Compression Ball Valve – Tee Handle | ASTM D2239

The Philmac IPS-ID (SIDR) Compression Ball Valve with Tee Handle provides a convenient and dependable way to control water flow in polyethylene water distribution systems. Designed for Iron Pipe Size Inside Diameter (IPS-ID) polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D2239 and AWWA C901, this compression ball valve allows water lines to be opened or shut off without disconnecting the piping system.

Featuring a compact tee-style handle, this valve provides convenient manual operation for controlling water flow to livestock watering systems, agricultural water lines, and other polyethylene piping applications.

The compression connections are designed to create a secure mechanical connection to compatible IPS-ID (SIDR) polyethylene pipe without requiring specialized heat fusion or welding equipment.

Ideal for livestock watering systems, rotational and regenerative grazing operations, agricultural irrigation, and farm water distribution, this Philmac ball valve provides a practical solution for controlling water flow throughout an HDPE water system.

Whether you're installing a new water distribution system, adding a shutoff point to an existing water line, or controlling water supply to individual livestock watering locations, this compression ball valve provides a convenient solution.

What Is an IPS-ID (SIDR) Compression Ball Valve Used For?

A compression ball valve allows water flow to be manually turned on or off within a polyethylene water distribution system.

For example, a livestock watering system may use a main HDPE water line supplying multiple paddocks. A Philmac IPS-ID (SIDR) Compression Ball Valve can be installed along a compatible water line to create a shutoff point for an individual livestock water tank or section of the system.

This allows farmers and ranchers to isolate portions of their water distribution network for maintenance, repairs, or system modifications without necessarily shutting down the entire water supply.

The tee-style handle provides a compact operating design, while the quarter-turn ball valve mechanism allows water flow to be opened or closed quickly.

Important: Proper valve placement can make livestock watering systems easier to maintain. Installing shutoff valves at strategic locations allows individual water lines or watering points to be isolated when repairs are needed.

Important Compatibility Information

This compression ball valve is intended for IPS-ID (SIDR) polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D2239, with compatibility for applicable AWWA C901 pipe configurations.

IPS-ID (SIDR) pipe is sized according to its inside diameter and standard dimension ratio.

Unlike IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) and CTS-OD (ASTM D2737) polyethylene pipe, IPS-ID pipe may have different outside diameters depending on its SIDR classification.

Always verify your pipe's sizing standard, SIDR classification, and outside diameter before purchasing compression fittings.
