Matco-norca 26-1004plf Straight Stop Valve Press X Compression

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 26-1004plf is a lead-free, chrome-plated brass straight stop valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing supply line shutoff applications. Built with a one-piece body and a double O-ring design, this valve delivers a reliable quarter-turn shutoff between a 1/2 inch press connection on the supply side and a 3/8 inch compression outlet. It is rated for temperatures from 32 degrees F to 160 degrees F and meets cUPC and NSF/ANSI 61 certification requirements for potable water contact. Licensed plumbers install this valve as a supply stop on sinks, lavatory faucets, and similar fixtures.

This stop valve is suited for new construction and retrofit plumbing projects where a press-fit inlet simplifies installation without soldering. The 3/8 inch compression outlet accommodates standard flexible supply lines used with lavatory faucets and similar fixtures. The quarter-turn ball-style operation allows fast, positive shutoff during fixture service or emergency isolation. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to local and federal lead-free compliance requirements.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. The press-fit connection requires a compatible press tool and jaws rated for the pipe material in use — do not attempt to solder or mechanically join the press end with non-press methods. Verify the compression nut is seated squarely on the supply tube before tightening to avoid cross-threading or seat damage.
