Arrowhead Brass Plumbing 250LF Washing Machine Valve

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 250LF is a washing machine valve designed for residential laundry supply lines. It features a 3/4-inch male hose thread bottom bypass, a 1/2-inch nominal pipe size, and MNPT x FNPT end connections. The valve is rated for 125 psi working pressure and delivers a flow rate of 8 to 9 gallons per minute. The body is constructed from bronze alloy, which resists corrosion in potable water applications. This is a lead-free (LF) compliant fitting, meeting requirements for use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers typically install this valve during laundry room rough-ins or appliance replacements.

This valve is intended for residential washing machine supply applications where a shutoff with a hose thread bypass is required. The bottom bypass port accepts a standard 3/4-inch male hose thread connection, making it compatible with typical washing machine supply hoses. The MNPT x FNPT configuration allows it to thread directly into existing 1/2-inch pipe runs without additional adapters in most standard installations. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit projects in residential settings.
