SharkBite 2462 Series Push-to-Connect Hose Bibb, 1/2-in x 3/4-in MHT

SharkBite 2462 Series Push-to-Connect Hose Bibb, 1/2-in x 3/4-in MHT

The SharkBite 2462 Series is a family of push-to-connect hose bibbs engineered to install or replace an exterior hose bib without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. The 2462 Series is available across two models, 24626LF and 24627LF, sharing a common 1/2-in push-to-connect inlet and a 3/4-in male garden hose thread (MHT) outlet set at a 90 degree angle. The inlet accepts 1/2-in PEX, copper, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe in any combination, and a multi-turn handle delivers precise on/off flow control right at the fixture. This makes the 2462 Series a practical rough-in solution for exterior hose bib runs, utility connections, and mixed-material plumbing retrofits.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1/2-in push-to-connect inlet x 3/4-in male garden hose thread outlet, shared across both 2462 Series models, for standard hose bib replacement.
• Push-to-Connect Design: Insert the pipe and stainless steel teeth grip it tight while an O-ring compresses to create a seal, eliminating solder, glue, unions, or specialty tools during installation.
• Pipe Compatibility: Inlet works with PEX, copper, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe in any combination, giving installers flexibility on mixed-material jobs.
• 90 Degree Configuration: Outlet is set at a 90 degree angle for common exterior hose bibb applications.
• Multi-Turn Handle: Provides on/off flow control at the fixture.
• Rotatable Fitting: The fitting can be rotated on the pipe after installation, making it easier to work in tight rough-in spaces.
• Reusable Connection: A demount clip (sold separately) allows the pipe to be released from the fitting so the valve can be disconnected and reused.
