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.

  • Durable Construction: Low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body for long service life on hot and cold water lines.

  • Stainless Steel Gripping Teeth: Bite down on the pipe for a secure, reliable connection.
  • Chlorine-Resistant O-Ring: Compresses against the pipe to create a long-lasting watertight seal.

SharkBite 24615-0000LF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can this push-to-connect ball valve be used on a hydronic heating loop or just potable water?
Both. The 24615-0000LF is rated for potable water and hydronic lines, hot or cold, up to 200 PSI at 200 degrees F. That covers typical residential and light commercial heating branch shut-offs. Above that temperature or pressure, it is the wrong valve.
2) Is this SharkBite valve approved to install behind a wall with no access panel?
Yes. The 24615-0000LF is approved for behind-the-wall installation with no access panel, and for underground use as long as the valve is wrapped. It is IAPMO listed, which is what most inspectors want to see on a concealed fitting.
3) Do I have to drain the line before installing this shut-off valve?
No. The valve can go on a wet or dry line, and you can pressure test right after it is pushed on. There is no cure or cool-down wait like solder or solvent weld. That is the main reason crews reach for it on a repair where the water cannot be fully drained down.
4) What does the drop ear on this 1/2" SharkBite ball valve do, and do I need it?
The drop ear gives the valve a mounting flange so it can be screwed to a stud or blocking, which holds the shut-off rigid instead of letting it float on the pipe. That is what you want on a rough-in where a fixture supply or a hydronic branch has to stay put behind drywall. If the valve only needs to sit inline on a pipe run with nothing to anchor to, a plain push-to-connect ball valve without the ear is the simpler part.
5) Is the SharkBite 24615-0000LF lead free for potable water?
The body is low-lead DZR brass and the valve is listed to the no-lead standard, so it is suitable for potable water service. DZR means dezincification-resistant, which matters on aggressive or chlorinated water where ordinary brass loses zinc and fails over time.
6) Can I rotate or remove this SharkBite valve after it is installed?
Yes on both. The valve rotates on the pipe after it is pushed on, so you can aim the handle where you want it, and it comes off with a SharkBite disconnect tool for a changeout or reuse. The disconnect tool is a separate item, not supplied with the valve.
7) How does a 1/2" SharkBite drop ear ball valve compare to a soldered or crimped PEX valve for a multi-family turnover?
Functionally it is the same quarter-turn brass shut-off, the difference is install. No torch, no crimp ring, no press tool, so a maintenance tech with a pipe cutter and a deburr tool can swap a stuck stop in minutes on a line that is still wet. The tradeoff is cost per fitting and that the joint depends on an O-ring rather than metal. On a fleet of units the drop ear also standardizes how the valve is anchored, which keeps repeat repairs consistent.
8) How is the SharkBite 24615-0000LF packaged for ordering?
The 24615-0000LF ships 12 each per pack, which suits stocking a service truck or a rough-in run rather than buying a single valve. The MPN to order against is 24615-0000LF.
