John Guest UXLBV54 2 Inch Sharkbite Ball Valve

Product Description

The JOHN GUEST UXLBV54 is a 2-inch SharkBite large-diameter ball valve designed for commercial and residential plumbing systems. It uses a push-to-connect configuration, eliminating the need for soldering, crimping, or threading during installation. The valve controls flow in potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, and general water distribution lines. It is compatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe, making it a versatile shutoff solution for licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working across a range of pipe materials and system types.

This ball valve is part of the SharkBite large-diameter commercial fitting range. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit applications in residential and commercial buildings. Typical install scenarios include main water shutoffs, branch line isolation, hydronic loop service valves, irrigation system controls, and chilled water distribution headers. The push-to-connect design speeds up installation in tight spaces where torch work is not practical or permitted.
