Hayward TBB True Union Ball Valves

• Compact T-handle for use in tight spaces

Pressure Ratings

• PVC & CPVC: Up to 225 PSI non-shock at 70°F
• Polypropylene & PVDF: Up to 150 PSI non-shock at 70°F

Limitations Compared to TBH Series

• Manually operated only (for electric or pneumatic actuation, use the TBH series)
• No lockout/tagout capability (upgrade to TBH if required)
• Compact T-handle (may be less comfortable for users wearing gloves)

When to Choose TBB vs TBH

• Choose TBB when you need panel mounting, reversible seats, and good value in a true-union valve.
• Choose TBH when you need actuation capability, lockout/tagout, or prefer a USA-made valve with maximum features and fastest availability.
