Large Ball Valve Shield - 5" wide x 3" deep. Snaps to the underside of ball valves to keep the body and handle cool to the touch. These clip directly to several areas of 2-piece valves to accomodate either weldless or welded valve installs.

Please be aware that not all 3-PC ball valve castings are exactly the same. The ones we supply have a rounded off body between the bolts and the large clip is able to expand around it. The two bottom bolts must be temporarily removed before clipping the shield in place. Afterwards, install one bolt at a time. The second bolt will be tough to put back in as the clip will provide some resistance. Push the threaded end of the bolt towards the valve to line it up with the hole the best you can and tap the bolt in gently with a hammer. If you get your ball valves from another supplier, we have no idea if the shield will fit.
