Matco-norca 22910 Ball Valve 3/4 in Mnpt X Pex Full Port

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 22910 is a full-port ball valve designed for 3/4-inch MNPT to 3/4-inch PEX connections, built to ASTM F1960 cold expansion standards. Constructed lead-free to meet current potable water regulations, this valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable, full-flow shutoff is required. Its cold expansion PEX end connects to F1960-compliant expansion fittings, while the male NPT end threads into standard pipe or fitting assemblies. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of valve in new construction and retrofit PEX distribution systems.

This valve is used in PEX-a potable water distribution systems, including hot and cold supply lines in residential and light commercial construction. The cold expansion F1960 connection type is compatible with PEX-a tubing and requires an expansion tool and appropriate rings during installation. It is well suited for manifold systems, branch line isolation, and service valve applications where full-port flow capacity is needed to minimize pressure drop.

Key Features

• Full-port design allows unrestricted flow and minimizes pressure loss across the valve
• Lead-free construction meets safe drinking water requirements for potable water applications
• Cold expansion F1960 PEX end compatible with PEX-a tubing and expansion rings
• 3/4-inch MNPT inlet threads into standard NPT pipe fittings and assemblies
• Ball valve mechanism provides reliable quarter-turn shutoff for isolation service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 3/4-inch PEX-a cold expansion F1960 plumbing systems using MNPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. A PEX-a expansion tool and correctly sized F1960 expansion rings are required to make the PEX-side connection; allow the expanded fitting to recover fully before pressurizing. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads and do not overtighten against plastic or soft-seat fittings.
