Sharkbite

Item #: (contact info removed) | Model #: UR24616Z SharkBite Max push-to-connect ball valves are the fastest and easiest way to install a new or replacement water shut-off valve. A newly designed stainless steel collet retainer delivers additional strength and durability and provides a 250 psi pressure rating. SharkBite Max fittings and valves do not require a PEX tube liner and a reengineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less force and greater ease. The single lever quarter turn handle allows for quick control over water flow, especially in tight spaces. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue or special tools required. After inserting the pipe, stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe tightly while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around the pipe to create a watertight seal. The valve can be rotated after installation for quick adjustments and removing the valve is just as fast with a disconnect tool, allowing them to be changed or reused. • Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC PE-RT, or HDPE pipe • Requires no special tools to install on hot or cold-water lines • Can be installed on wet or dry lines pressure tested immediately • Rotatable after installation and removable • PEX tube liner not required • Approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panels (wrapping required when burying underground) • Low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body Great deal for plumbers retail at Lowe’s is $34 each.
