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

The 1/2 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 1/2 in. Solder Ball Valve is an ideal choice for transitioning from a copper piping system to PEX-A piping systems. It is easy to install and allows for flow control with its smooth-operating quarter-turn lever handle that prevents sticking. Barb fittings are essential for one of the most cost-effective potable water piping systems. Additionally, they can be integrated into hydronic heating systems, and couplings need to be secured with sleeves or similar expansion-type sleeves or rings (all 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, suitable for both simple and complex water delivery systems. A cold-expansion tool (sold separately) is necessary for installation.

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

• Full-port ball valve ensures maximum water output.

• 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 surpasses the ASTM F1960 standard.

• Meets UPC, IPC, and cUPC standards.

• Features a barb x solder connection for PEX-A plumbing systems.

• NSF certified.

• Maximum working pressure is 200 psi and maximum temperature is 200 degrees F.

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