Angle ball valve with union 1/2" MF for water, red butterfly handle – IVAR.6782
Code: 6782R076Product detailed description
Code 6782R076 is the IVAR.6782 angle ball valve in size 1/2" with a male – female thread (MF) connection. It turns the pipe run through 90°, shuts it off completely and, thanks to the union, can be connected or removed without rotating the whole valve. The butterfly handle is red.
Applications
- cold water, hot water and compressed air lines
- domestic, industrial and agricultural installations
- non-aggressive media up to +120 °C, without steam
- drinking water – the valve is approved
Design
- nickel-plated CW617N brass body, brass ball and stem
- PTFE ball seals, stem sealed with Viton and EPDM O-rings
- union with brass nut and tailpiece, EPDM tailpiece O-ring
- full bore, bore diameter Ø 15 mm
- extended threads on both ends to EN ISO 228/1
- lacquered aluminium butterfly handle, 90° rotation
Installation and operation
The valve is supplied fully open. When tightening the joint, hold the valve body against the direction in which the pipe turns so that it is not damaged. Seal the threads with PTFE tape, cord or thread, or with sealing paste or gel – the manufacturer does not recommend hemp. Use the valve only fully open or fully closed, and turn it through its full range once or twice a quarter to prevent deposits forming on the seals.
The same valve with blue butterfly handle has code 6774R076 (type IVAR.6774); both types are made in sizes from 1/2" to 1".

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the blue and the red version?
According to the technical data sheet, types IVAR.6782 and IVAR.6774 have the same dimensions, materials and operating data. Only the colour of the butterfly handle differs.
What is the union on the valve for?
The union, made up of a nut and tailpiece, lets you connect the valve to the pipework or remove it later without having to rotate the whole fitting.
Can I use the valve to regulate the flow?
No. The ball valve is intended only for fully opening or fully closing and must not be operated in an intermediate position.
How should the valve be left when the system is drained because of frost?
If the system is drained because of the risk of freezing, the ball valve must be left half open in the 45° position.
