Easyflex efsv-st-38ft38c Straight Stop Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The EASYFLEX efsv-st-38ft38c is a straight stop valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It features a brass body with chrome-plated finish, rated to 125 psi and 180 degrees F, making it suitable for standard domestic water supply lines. The valve uses an FNPT x compression connection configuration and is actuated by a zinc handle. Trim materials include brass, copper, and PTFE, while NBR softgoods provide reliable sealing performance. Licensed plumbers and skilled tradespeople install this valve as a shutoff point on supply lines serving fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and appliances.

This straight stop valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable inline shutoff is required on 3/8 inch nominal supply lines. The FNPT inlet connects to threaded pipe, and the compression outlet connects directly to supply tubes. Its chrome-plated finish suits exposed under-sink installations where appearance is a factor. It is appropriate for cold and hot water supply applications within its rated temperature and pressure limits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FNPT connection and ensure the compression fitting is properly seated before restoring pressure. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can damage the ferrule and cause leaks.
