Spears 8722 Series PVC Cold Water (CWV) Ball Valve, Socket EPDM
The Spears 8722 Series is a PVC Cold Water (CWV) ball valve built with socket connections and EPDM seals for dependable shutoff control in cold water piping systems. Molded from PVC for corrosion resistance, this ball valve family is available in 1" and 2" trade sizes to match common pipe runs found in residential and light commercial plumbing. Socket-style ends provide a solvent-weld joint with PVC pipe for a secure, leak-resistant connection, while the EPDM seat and seal material is formulated for long-term reliability in cold water (CWV) service. This valve family gives installers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to metallic ball valves for shutoff and isolation points throughout a cold water distribution system.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: Available in 1" and 2" sizes to fit common PVC piping runs in residential and light commercial systems.
- Durable PVC Construction: Molded PVC body resists corrosion, rust, and the chemical degradation common to metallic valves in wet environments.
- Socket Connection: Socket (solvent-weld) ends on both ports for a secure, leak-resistant joint directly with PVC pipe, simplifying installation.
- EPDM Seals: EPDM seat and seal material is formulated for reliable, long-lasting performance in cold water applications.
- Cold Water (CWV) Rated: Designated for cold water valve (CWV) service in plumbing distribution and shutoff applications.
- Ball Valve Design: Quarter-turn handle operation typical of ball valves for quick, positive on/off flow control at any point in the line.
- Lightweight PVC Body: Easier to handle and install than comparable metallic ball valves, reducing labor time on the job site.

Spears 8722-010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the ends on the Spears 8722 ball valve threaded or solvent weld?
Solvent weld. Both ports are socket ends, meaning the valve cements directly onto PVC pipe with primer and solvent cement. There is no thread on the connection, so if your piping is threaded you would need male adapters cemented into the sockets or a threaded-end valve instead.
2) Can I use a Spears 8722 PVC ball valve on a hot water line?
No. The 8722 is a cold water (CWV) valve, and the PVC body plus EPDM seals are specified for cold water service only. For hot water distribution you need a CPVC or metallic valve rated for the temperature, not this one.
3) Will EPDM seals hold up in an irrigation or potable cold water line?
EPDM is the seat and seal material in the 8722 and it is formulated for long-term cold water service, which covers cold water distribution, shutoff points and irrigation lines. EPDM is a water-service elastomer, not a hydrocarbon one, so keep it off petroleum-based fluids and oils.
4) Why choose a PVC ball valve over a brass one for a cold water shutoff?
The PVC body on the 8722 will not rust or corrode the way a metallic valve can in wet locations, and it is considerably lighter to handle on a ladder or in a trench. It also joins by solvent weld straight to PVC pipe, so there is no dielectric transition or thread sealing to worry about. Where you need hot water, higher temperature, or a metallic system tie-in, a brass or bronze valve is the right call instead.
5) Where do I find the laying length and pressure rating for the Spears 8722 CWV ball valve?
Spears publishes the CWV ball valve dimension drawings and a separate dimensions and pressure ratings sheet, along with the full CWV ball valve spec sheet. Those give the face-to-face and socket depth figures you need to lay out the run and cut the pipe accurately before cementing.
6) Is the Spears 8722 a quarter-turn valve for fixture isolation?
It is. The 8722 is a ball valve with quarter-turn handle operation, so it gives positive on/off at isolation points ahead of fixtures and equipment, and at branch shutoffs in a cold water distribution system.
7) If I'm standardizing shutoff valves across a property, do the 1 inch and 2 inch 8722 valves match each other?
They are the same family, same PVC body material, same EPDM seals, same socket solvent-weld ends, just ordered by trade size: 8722-010 for 1 inch and 8722-020 for 2 inch. That keeps one valve type and one operating method across mains and branches, which simplifies training maintenance staff and stocking spares.
