Cierre = tailpiece I don't like it when the wrong answer is chosen. Yesterday I spent ages trying to find the answer to this question and 'cierre' has nothing to do with the ball. It refers to the tailpiece but I haven't been able to find any convincing references for 'bronce a teflón'. However, I'm pretty sure that it refers to the lining of the body and tailpiece. I am providing links that show pictures of the cierre/tailpiece.

@asker re context Could these be two separate items, i.e., maybe a chromium-plated ball valve and a Teflon-coated locking device of some sort?

half-inch, chrome-plated bronze ball-valve with teflon coated ball

Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : This is more than Maria asked for, and your punctuation is wrong. If I understand it correctly, the ball is the shutoff.

disagree Enrique Soria : the noun is "cierre". in this context, it is called a shut-off.

threaded globe valve bronze to teflon

disagree Carol Gullidge : Sorry, but “bronze to teflon” makes no sense in English, and where does “threaded” come from?

chrome plated, 1/2 in. teflon ball shut-off valve

The problem with the entire phrase is that it doesn't make sense. It probably is a back trans, possible from a catalog of items. The EN word order doesn't fit the SP word order. The part asked to be translated cn't be translated on its own as it makes the least sense of all.

I came up with the translation after dissecting the entire phrase and using familiarity with these type of valves.

'1/2 in. cierre' is a 1/2 in. shut off valve
'cromado' is chrome plated valve body

after I posted this something else occurred to me.

1/2 in bronze, teflon lined shut-off valve with chrome plated ball
