Quick Take
When you're choosing an industrial valve, the first question is usually about line size and how you'll operate it. This group covers four very different jobs and spans USD 39.00 to USD 160.00. A 10-inch lug butterfly valve handles manual air or water flow at the high end. A 2-inch solenoid valve covers automated low-pressure on/off service. A 1-inch globe valve provides handwheel throttling. A 3/4-inch carbon steel ball valve gives simple manual shutoff. Start by matching the valve to the pipe size and the type of actuation you need, then let price separate the options.
Listed Price Comparison
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Pratt Industrial - 10" 150# Lug Butterfly Valve | USD 160.00 | |
| KITZ 1" Bronze Globe Valve 200 WOG FNPT Threaded - Industrial Grade | USD 39.99 | |
| NEW ASCO 8215C83 120/60 120VAC 2" NPT 2-WAY NO INDUSTRIAL SOLENOID VALVE 0-25PSI | USD 95.55 | |
| FNW Fig 321A 3/4" Carbon Steel Ball Valve 150 WSP 3-Piece Industrial Valve | USD 39.00 |
The 10-inch butterfly valve and the 2-inch solenoid valve sit at the higher end of the price range. The 1-inch globe valve and the 3/4-inch ball valve both land near USD 39.00-40.00. The price difference makes sense only if the valve actually fits the line size and operation style you need.
Decision Matrix
| Use Case | Consider This Valve | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Large manually operated line handling air or water | Pratt Industrial 10" 150# Lug Butterfly Valve | 10" size, manual operation, air/water suitability |
| Automated on/off in a low-pressure 2" NPT system | ASCO 8215C83 solenoid valve | Solenoid operation, 120VAC, 2-way normally open, 0-25 PSI |
| Hand-controlled flow regulation in a 1" threaded line | KITZ 1" Bronze Globe Valve | Globe pattern, 200 WOG rating, handwheel, 1" FNPT |
| Simple manual shutoff in a 3/4" line | FNW Fig 321A 3/4" Carbon Steel Ball Valve | 3/4" size, lever handle, 3-piece body, FPT connection |
Product Notes
Pratt Industrial - 10" 150# Lug Butterfly Valve
The Pratt is the largest valve in this group: a 10-inch lug butterfly valve with manual operation and suitability for air and water. It carries the model number BF2-130-100-8688. If your line is large and you want to open or close it by hand, this is the valve that matches the size. The 10-inch size and lug-style body make it a substantial component, so it is not a practical choice for compact piping. It is also a manual valve, so it will not offer the remote actuation of a solenoid. Choose it for a dedicated large-bore manually operated air or water service rather than a general-purpose small-valve replacement.
KITZ 1" Bronze Globe Valve 200 WOG FNPT Threaded - Industrial Grade
The KITZ globe valve is built around the 1-inch size and threaded female NPT connections. It features a red handwheel and is rated at 200 WOG, with the globe pattern intended for flow regulation and throttling. Its intended service includes water, oil, and gas systems. If you need to adjust flow by hand with fine control, this valve is the natural fit among the four. The handwheel also makes it a manual-only component, so it will not provide the automated operation that a solenoid valve offers. The 1-inch connection size is another constraint: use it where a 1-inch threaded line is already in place.
NEW ASCO 8215C83 120/60 120VAC 2" NPT 2-WAY NO INDUSTRIAL SOLENOID VALVE 0-25PSI
The ASCO 8215C83 is the go-to option if you need electrical actuation. It is a 2-inch NPT, 2-way normally open solenoid valve built for 120VAC 120/60 service and a 0-25 PSI pressure range. The model number 8215C83 identifies this industrial solenoid valve. This is the only valve in this comparison that does not rely on manual effort to operate, making it useful for automated low-pressure systems. Its limitation is the operating envelope: the normally open configuration and 0-25 PSI range mean it will not suit a normally closed application or a line above 25 PSI. The 2-inch size also places it in a larger line class than the 1-inch and 3/4-inch options here.
FNW Fig 321A 3/4" Carbon Steel Ball Valve 150 WSP 3-Piece Industrial Valve
The FNW Fig 321A is a 3/4-inch carbon steel ball valve with a manual lever handle, a three-piece body, a 150 WSP marking, and FPT end connections. That combination makes it a straightforward choice for simple manual shutoff in a 3/4-inch threaded line. The practical limitation is that the valve has not been pressure tested by the seller, so you are responsible for confirming that it suits your pressure and media before installation. If you want a compact ball valve for a manual application and are comfortable with that verification step, this FNW is the one to pick. The 3/4-inch size keeps it out of larger-line duty.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For a large manually operated air or water line, choose the Pratt Industrial 10" 150# Lug Butterfly Valve.
- For automated on/off control in a 2-inch low-pressure system, choose the ASCO 8215C83.
- For handwheel throttling in a 1-inch threaded line, choose the KITZ 1" Bronze Globe Valve.
- For simple manual shutoff in a 3/4-inch line, choose the FNW Fig 321A.
