Barb Ball Valve 1/2 in. Brass PEX-A Expansion

The 1/2 in. Brass PEX-A Barb Ball Valve is easy to install and allows for flow regulation through 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. They can also be integrated into hydronic heating systems; however, couplings need to be secured using sleeves or similar expansion-type sleeves or rings (sold separately). The system is a complete piping solution made up of lead-free brass fittings, poly alloy fittings, manifolds, valves, fasteners, tools, and tubing, all designed for use in both simple and complex water delivery systems.

• The larger internal diameter of fittings leads to 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 durability.

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

• Complies with or surpasses ASTM F1960 standards.

• Adheres to UPC, IPC, and cUPC standards.

• Barb x barb connection suitable for PEX-A plumbing systems.

• NSF certified.

• Rated for temperatures up to 200 degrees F and pressures up to 200 psi.

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