Norwesco 2 Inch M x M Full Port Compact Valve with Blue Handle

The Norwesco N-62288 is a 2-inch male-by-male full-port compact ball valve in polypropylene, built with a blue handle for quick visual identification on the plant floor. Full port means the 2-inch bore stays open end to end, so flow through the valve matches the line it sits in without the throat restriction a standard-port ball valve adds. At roughly 9.13 inches tall with a 4.5-inch handle sweep and a 5-inch body length on the 2-inch male (M x M) connections, it drops into a tank bulkhead or drain manifold as a bottom-drain or isolation shutoff. Empty weight is about 2 pounds, and the blue color refers to the handle only, not the valve body.

Does it work for your setup

This is a polypropylene-bodied valve, not a tank, so match it to the fitting it threads into: both ends are 2-inch male (M x M), and the full-port design keeps the effective bore at the full 2 inches end to end — no throat restriction versus a standard-port valve. One gap to close before you order: the M x M thread standard is not listed on this SKU, so confirm NPT versus buttress tank thread against your mating fitting before you commit. It is sold as the valve only — bulkhead fitting and gasket are ordered separately, so plan on a female bulkhead or coupling on both sides. If you are deciding how to plumb a polyethylene storage tank drain, our full-port ball vs butterfly vs knife-gate valve selection guide walks through the full-bore, closure-reliability, and solids-handling tradeoffs. If you are still sizing the tank this valve will serve, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match outlet and capacity before you settle on a fitting size.

The mistake to avoid

Confirm the valve body material against your service before you order. This is a polypropylene valve — good for water and many general-service duties — but the pack lists no chemical-compatibility rating, no NSF or potable certification, and no maximum temperature or pressure spec for this SKU, so do not assume it is rated for aggressive chemical, hot, or pressurized service. Running anything past ambient water or general service? Call 866-418-1777 before ordering and we will confirm the right valve body. For a compact full-port valve like this Norwesco unit, the other common error is threading a 2-inch male end into a mating fitting that is also male, or reducing the port downstream and giving back the flow advantage you paid for. Use the listed dimensions — about 5 inches of body length, 9.13 inches tall, and a 4.5-inch handle sweep — when you lay out the manifold and check handle clearance.
