Brass Craft R1701LRX Rd Dual Outlet Valve 1/2 Fip X 3/8 Compression

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS R1701LRX RD is a dual outlet shutoff valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing supply applications. It features a 1/2 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet with two independent 3/8 inch OD compression outlets, allowing a single supply line to feed two fixtures simultaneously. Constructed from rough brass and fully lead free compliant, this multi-turn valve meets modern potable water standards. It ships in a package quantity of five units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing service vehicles and supply houses.

This dual outlet valve is commonly installed under sinks and in vanity cabinets where a single 1/2 inch supply stub-out must serve two fixtures, such as a faucet and a dishwasher or refrigerator ice maker line. The multi-turn design provides controlled, incremental shutoff rather than a quarter-turn action, which is a common requirement in older residential systems and retrofit installations. The compression outlets accept standard 3/8 inch OD supply tubes without soldering.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-installation dual outlet supply valve for plumbing systems with a 1/2 inch Female Iron Pipe supply connection and 3/8 inch OD compression outlet tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing valve. Thread the FIP inlet onto the male iron pipe stub-out using an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape per local plumbing code. Compression fittings at the outlets should be hand-tightened then snugged with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack the compression sleeve or distort the seat.
