Ball Valve Brass 1/2 in. PEX-A Barb x 1/2 in. Male Pipe Thread

The 1/2 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 1/2 in. Male Pipe Thread Ball Valve is an ideal solution for transitioning from an existing piping system to PEX-A piping systems. Its installation is straightforward, and it offers flow control via a smooth-operating quarter-turn lever handle that prevents sticking. Barb fittings are essential components of one of the most cost-effective potable water piping systems available. Additionally, they can be integrated into hydronic heating systems, but couplings must be secured using sleeves or similar expansion-type sleeves or rings (all sold separately). The system is a complete piping solution that includes lead-free brass fittings, poly alloy fittings, manifolds, valves, fasteners, tools, and tubing, designed for use in both simple and complex water delivery systems. A cold-expansion tool (sold separately) is necessary for installation.

• The larger internal diameter of fittings allows for a 25% increase in flow rate within the system.

• Full-port ball valve ensures maximum water flow.

• Made from lead-free dezincification resistant (DZR) brass for enhanced reliability and strength.

• A cold-expansion tool (sold separately) is needed for installation.

• Specifically designed for use with type A PEX piping systems.

• Complies with or exceeds ASTM F1960 standards.

• Meets UPC, IPC, and cUPC standards.

• Features a barb x male pipe thread connection for PEX-A plumbing systems.

• NSF certified.

• Supports a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and a maximum temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

• This item is not compatible with PEXb pipe, crimp-style (ASTM 1807), or pinch clamp (ASTM F2098) piping systems.
