SharkBite 24615-0000LF 1/2" Push-to-Connect Ball Valve with Drop Ear, DZR Brass

SharkBite 24615-0000LF 1/2" Push-to-Connect Ball Valve with Drop Ear, DZR Brass

The SharkBite 24615-0000LF is a 1/2" push-to-connect ball valve with a drop ear configuration, built for fast shut-off installation on potable water and hydronic lines without soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools. The single-lever quarter-turn handle gives plumbers easy on/off control, and the low-lead DZR (dezincification-resistant) corrosion-resistant brass body is rated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and 200 PSI. Simply insert the pipe into the fitting and stainless steel gripping teeth bite down while a chlorine-resistant O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal — no waiting on soldered joints to cool or solvents to cure.
