Matco-norca 26-1004pxlf 1/2 Inch Pex X 3/8 Inch Compression Straight Stop Valve Chrome Lead Free

Product Description

The Matco-Norca 26-1004pxlf is a 1/4 turn straight stop valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It connects a 1/2 inch PEX supply line to a 3/8 inch OD compression fitting, making it a practical choice for under-sink shutoffs, toilet supply connections, and similar fixture supply applications. Plumbers and contractors rely on this type of valve to isolate individual fixtures without shutting off the main water supply to the entire system. The body is constructed from chrome-plated lead free brass, meeting lead free compliance standards required by modern plumbing codes including NSF 372. The chrome plating gives the valve a clean, finished appearance that works well in exposed installations under sinks or behind toilets. The 1/4 turn ball-style mechanism allows the valve to open or close with a simple 90-degree turn of the oval handle. This design reduces wear over time compared to older multi-turn compression stops and makes it faster to operate during service calls or emergencies. The valve is rated for continuous service up to 125 psi, which covers standard residential water pressure ranges. The temperature rating spans from 32 degrees F to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold and hot water supply lines. Softgoods include an NBR O-ring and PTFE packing, both of which provide reliable seals and resist degradation from water exposure and normal plumbing system conditions. The overall length is 2.3 inches, keeping the profile compact for tight under-cabinet spaces. PEX x compression end style means one side crimp-connects to PEX tubing and the other side accepts a standard 3/8 inch OD compression nut and ferrule. This valve is a direct-fit solution for retrofit and new construction plumbing work where PEX supply lines run to compression-style fixture connectors.

• 1/4 turn oval handle for fast shutoff and easy operation in tight spaces
• Chrome-plated lead free brass body meets current lead free plumbing code requirements
• PEX x 3/8 inch OD compression end style fits standard fixture supply line connections
