Eff eff221-09-lf Straight Stop Mini-ball Valve Lead-free 1/2 X 3/8 Inch Pex X Compression F1960

Product Description

The EFF eff221-09-lf is a lead-free straight stop mini-ball valve from Eastern Foundry and Fitting, part of the EFF221 Series. It is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable, compact shutoff valve is needed. The valve connects a 1/2-inch PEX cold expansion fitting to a 3/8-inch compression outlet, making it a practical choice for connecting water supply lines to fixtures such as faucets, toilets, and ice makers. It meets ASTM F1960 material standards, which govern cold expansion PEX fittings used in pressurized water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters working with PEX-a tubing systems will find this valve compatible with standard cold expansion tooling. The body is constructed from brass, which provides strength and corrosion resistance in both hot and cold water applications. The seat material is PTFE, known for its low friction and chemical resistance, while EPDM seals provide a reliable, long-lasting watertight connection. The valve is rated for pressures up to 400 psi and temperatures up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, covering a wide range of residential plumbing conditions. Quarter-turn operation allows fast, simple shutoff with a single 90-degree handle rotation. The double stem O-ring seal reduces the chance of stem leakage over the life of the valve. Dezincification and stress corrosion resistance extend the service life of the brass body in chlorinated water systems. Being lead-free, this valve meets modern plumbing codes for potable water use. It is a dependable component for new construction, remodel work, and service replacement jobs requiring a compact, code-compliant straight stop valve.

• Lead-free brass body meets potable water code requirements
• ASTM F1960 cold expansion PEX connection for use with PEX-a tubing systems
• Quarter-turn mini-ball valve design allows fast and easy shutoff
