This quarter-turn shutoff valve eliminates soldering, clamping, and gluing for faster potable water and hydronic heating installations. SPECIFICATIONS SharkBite Ball Valve Technical Details Manufacturer SharkBite Valve Type Quarter-turn ball valve Connection Method Push-to-connect (push-fit) Compatible Pipe Types Copper, PEX, CPVC, PE-RT Application Potable water, hydronic heating systems Installation Tools Required None (tool-free push connection) Rotation After Install Yes, valve body rotates for accessibility Certifications Approved for potable water use INSTALLATION & USE How to Install the SharkBite Ball Valve Cut pipe squarely and deburr the outside edge completely to prevent damage to the O-ring seal. Mark the pipe at the insertion depth specified for your pipe size, then push the SharkBite valve firmly onto the pipe until it reaches the depth mark. Rotate the valve body to the desired position for easy handle access, then test the connection by turning water on slowly. Operate the quarter-turn handle to verify smooth open and closed positions before putting the system into full service. COMPATIBILITY Pipe & System Compatibility The SharkBite Ball Valve connects to copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe in any combination without adapters or transition fittings. Suitable for both potable water distribution systems and closed-loop hydronic heating applications. The push-fit connection forms a watertight seal immediately upon installation, with no cure time or additional securing required. 🔧 Pro Tip: After pushing the valve onto the pipe, give it a firm tug to confirm the grab ring has engaged. The ability to rotate the valve body after installation makes it easier to position the handle for accessibility in cramped mechanical rooms or under-sink applications.
