Overview — Ball Valve 504-0227
504-0227 is the ball valve used on CUMMINS and construction machinery fluid circuits, providing positive shut-off in hydraulic, air or water lines through a quarter-turn ball closure. We can supply this valve as well as related CUMMINS service components, in stock or available on order — welcome to enquire by part number.
Parts Characteristics
The valve uses a precision ball with a through-bore that rotates to open or close the flow path with a quarter turn of the handle. The ball and seat are matched for a positive seal in the closed position, while the bore maintains near-full flow when open. The body is ported with 1-inch BSP female connections on both ends, and the lockable design allows the handle to be secured in position to prevent accidental operation. Seals and the stem are suited to the pressure range and fluids of the circuits where the valve is used, and the body finish resists corrosion in machine service.
Applicable Models & Applications
This ball valve is used in fluid circuits on construction and industrial equipment, including hydraulic pilot and auxiliary lines, air systems, water circuits and service connections where a positive shut-off is needed. The 1-inch BSP female-female configuration suits plumbing into existing lines with standard fittings, and the lockable handle makes it suitable for circuits that must stay isolated during service. Confirm the port size, thread standard and the pressure rating of your circuit against the original valve before ordering.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect the valve for leaks at the body, the handle seal and the pipe connections. A valve that becomes stiff to turn may have contamination in the ball seat or a damaged seal; operate it through a full cycle occasionally to keep the ball and seat free. When replacing, isolate and drain the circuit before removing the old valve, and support the pipework so the valve body is not strained by the fittings. Apply thread sealant to the male fittings as appropriate and tighten evenly, then pressure-test the joint before returning the circuit to service. Check the lockable handle mechanism functions correctly after installation.
Price Reference (USD)
The reference price for this Ball Valve (504-0227) is approximately USD 15 – 45 per unit depending on brand grade, quantity and shipping destination. This is a planning estimate only — confirm current pricing and availability with our sales team before ordering.
Value & Service
A shut-off valve that fails to seal turns a simple service into a full circuit drain-down, so we verify 504-0227 against the original specification and confirm the 1-inch BSP porting and pressure rating before dispatch. We keep the valve in stock and ship worldwide with tracking, and our team can advise on the correct thread sealant and fittings for your circuit. Orders for multiple valves can be combined into one tracked delivery with quantity pricing for maintenance fleets.
