Aquabrass N1206 1/2″ Shut-Off Valve with Ceramic Cartridge

The Aquabrass N1206 is a dedicated 1/2-inch shut-off valve designed to provide controlled water flow within a compatible shower plumbing arrangement. Its solid brass body, ceramic cartridge, and matching 1/2-inch NPT female connections establish the key specifications for selecting this valve as part of a coordinated bathroom water control system.

Dedicated Shut-Off Control

A dedicated shut-off valve provides a defined point for controlling water flow within a plumbing configuration. The N1206 is intended for applications where separate shut-off control is required as part of a compatible shower installation.

Its focused function makes the valve suitable for incorporating into a broader shower plumbing arrangement rather than serving as a complete shower control system on its own. When planning an installation, the valve should be evaluated alongside the other components that make up the intended water delivery system.

Solid Brass Construction

The N1206 features solid brass construction, providing a substantial material specification for its valve body. This construction is appropriate for a plumbing component that forms part of a concealed or coordinated shower water control arrangement.

For bathroom renovation and new construction projects, material selection is one of the specifications that can help determine whether a valve suits the planned plumbing assembly. The N1206 combines its solid brass construction with a defined connection configuration and ceramic cartridge.

1/2-Inch NPT Female Connections

Both the inlet and outlet use 1/2-inch NPT female connections. Having the same connection specification at each end gives the valve a clearly defined connection arrangement for compatible plumbing components.

Connection size and type should be confirmed against the surrounding components before installation. This is particularly important when the valve is being incorporated into a larger shower valve assembly, where the adjoining plumbing components need to correspond with the specified connection requirements.

Ceramic Cartridge

A ceramic cartridge provides the internal mechanism for the valve’s shut-off function. It manages the water flow through the valve, allowing the N1206 to perform its intended role as a dedicated control point within the plumbing system.

The ceramic cartridge specification is an important part of the valve’s technical information and can be considered alongside the construction material and connection type when selecting components for a shower installation.

Flow Rate

The Aquabrass N1206 has a specified flow rate of 10.5 GPM at 45 PSI. This provides a defined performance reference when evaluating the valve as part of a planned water delivery system.

Flow requirements should be considered together with the specifications of the complete shower installation and its other compatible components.
