Boshart 0832TP-05 Gas Ball Valve, 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT, T-Handle with 1/8" Pilot Tap
The Boshart 0832TP-05 is a 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT gas ball valve built with a two-piece forged brass body and a blow-out proof stem for reliable shutoff on gas piping runs. This valve is fitted with a T-handle for quick manual operation and includes a 1/8" pilot tap, allowing a manometer to be connected directly at the valve to test line pressure without breaking the joint. Both valve ports are threaded 1/2" FPT (female pipe thread) for direct connection into threaded gas piping. The forged brass construction is intended for durability in gas service applications where a dependable, tight-closing shutoff is required behind the wall or at the appliance connection.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT connections for direct threaded installation into gas supply piping.
- Durable Construction: Two-piece forged brass body designed for gas ball valve service.

Boshart 0832TP-05 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread does the Boshart 0832TP-05 gas ball valve use?
It's a 1/2 inch valve with female pipe thread on both ends, 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT. That means it threads directly onto male-threaded black iron or steel gas pipe nipples with no adapters. If your run terminates in a female fitting, you'll need a close nipple on each side to land the valve.
2) What is the 1/8 inch pilot tap on this gas valve actually for?
The 1/8" tap is a side port for a manometer. A gas fitter can connect a gauge right at the valve and read line pressure without breaking a joint or cutting in a test tee, which is the point of ordering the TP version rather than a plain ball valve. Plug it when you're done testing.
3) Do I need a gas valve with a test tap, or will a standard ball valve do?
If someone has to verify manifold or appliance inlet pressure, the tapped version saves you a separate test tee and two more joints to leak-check. For a plain isolation point mid-run where nobody is gauging pressure, the tap adds nothing and a standard 1/2" FPT gas ball valve covers it. The 0832TP-05 is the tapped one.
4) Is this a quarter-turn valve, and can I operate it with a wrench?
Quarter turn, yes. The T-handle turns by hand for quick shutoff and takes a wrench when the valve is tight against a wall or joist and you can't get fingers on it. Handy for tight rough-in spaces where a lever handle wouldn't swing.
5) Can I use this valve as an appliance shutoff at a furnace or water heater?
That's one of its intended uses, appliance gas connection isolation on 1/2 inch threaded piping, along with general residential and commercial shutoff and new-construction or retrofit gas rough-in. With the 1/8 inch tap you can also check inlet pressure at the appliance without adding fittings.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the 1/2 inch T-handle tapped gas valve?
Boshart 0832TP-05. It's a single configuration, 1/2 inch FPT x FPT with the T-handle and the 1/8" pilot tap, so there is no handing or finish choice to specify. Country of origin is China.
7) What is the Boshart 0832TP-05 valve body made of?
Two-piece forged brass body with a blow-out proof stem. Forged brass is standard for gas shutoff service, and the blow-out proof stem is there so line pressure can't push the stem out of the body.
8) How many gas ball valves come in a box?
Packaged 10 each, which is how most plumbing and mechanical contractors buy them for a multi-unit rough-in or to stock a service truck.
