The Altecnic 1/2" Filter Ball Valve - Black Lever is a plumbing component that combines a ball valve with an integrated filter.

Here’s a breakdown of its main features:

• Ball Valve: This part controls the flow of liquid (usually water) through a pipe. A ball inside the valve rotates to either allow or block the flow, providing a simple on/off control mechanism.
• Filter: The integrated filter is used to trap debris and particles from the liquid, helping to protect the plumbing system from clogs or damage. This can be particularly useful in water systems where impurities might be present.
• Size: The valve has 1/2-inch inlet and outlet connections, meaning it is designed for pipes with a 1/2-inch diameter.
• Black Lever: The lever handle on this valve is black, which may be an aesthetic or functional choice. Levers are often color-coded to indicate different applications or media types.

This valve is typically used in heating or plumbing systems where both flow control and filtration are needed, offering a compact and efficient solution for maintaining water quality and system reliability.
