Description
Lead-Free Brass Shut-Off Valve for IPS PVC & HDPE Water Lines
The Iron Pipe Size LF Brass Compression Curb Stop is a water service shut-off valve designed to provide a simple, reliable means of isolating water flow at the property line. Often used in residential and small commercial installations, this valve features lead-free brass construction and compression end connections that create a secure, watertight seal on IPS-sized pipe, including PVC and HDPE.
Installed between the main water service and the service line to a building, this curb stop allows utility operators or plumbers to quickly shut off water for maintenance, repairs, or emergencies without disrupting the entire distribution system. As with most curb stops, insert stiffeners are required when using flexible plastic piping to ensure proper sealing and pipe integrity.
Key Benefits of the IPS Compression Curb Stop Valve
- Reliable Water Shut-Off Control: Designed for use on underground water service lines, providing easy access to isolate flow at the property line.
- Lead-Free Brass Construction: Corrosion-resistant and safe for potable water applications.
- Secure Compression Seal: Compression end connections deliver a watertight gasket seal when properly installed.
- Rated for High Pressure: Compatible with typical potable water service pressures; many similar curb stops are pressure rated to approximately 300 PSI.
- Easy to Install: Installation involves stabbing the pipe through the nut and gasket/friction ring assembly to the stab depth, then tightening for a secure connection.
- Compatible with IPS Piping Iron Pipe Size (IPS) valves and fittings are commonly used for larger service lines 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ in diameter.

Can this valve be used with potable water?
Yes. The valve is made from lead-free brass suitable for potable water service lines and meets recognized industry safety standards.
Which pipe sizes are IPS valves used with?
IPS (Iron Pipe Size) valves and fittings are commonly used for larger service lines such as 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ diameters.
Do you need insert stiffeners for plastic pipe?
Yes. Insert stiffeners are required when connecting compression curb stops to flexible plastic piping such as HDPE to ensure a proper seal and prevent pipe collapse.
Is special equipment required for installation?
No special equipment is typically required. Standard tools such as wrenches are used to tighten the compression nuts. Proper installation requires clean, square pipe cuts and correct gasket seating.
Where is this valve typically installed?
It is typically installed underground at the property line, near where the public water service connects to the private service line.
What pressure can this service valve handle?
Curb stop valves in this class are commonly rated for approximately 300 PSI, suitable for most residential and commercial water service applications.
Can this valve be used above ground?
