Matco-norca 26-1016plf Quarter Turn Straight Stop Chrome

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 26-1016plf is a lead-free quarter turn straight stop valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing supply line connections. Built from chrome-plated lead-free brass with a one-piece body and double O-ring design, this valve delivers reliable shutoff performance in potable water systems. It is rated to 125 psi and handles temperatures from 32 degrees F to 160 degrees F. The chrome finish suits exposed under-sink installations. Licensed plumbers and journeyman plumbers are the primary installers of this type of fitting in new construction and retrofit applications.

This stop valve connects 1/2 inches press-style pipe to a 1/4 inches OD compression outlet, making it well suited for supply line connections to faucets, ice makers, and similar fixtures. The quarter turn handle allows quick, full shutoff without excessive handle rotation. The lead-free brass construction and cUPC and NSF/ANSI 61 certification make it compliant for use in potable water systems in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free plumbing standards.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation stop valve for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inches press x 1/4 inches OD compression straight stop configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Press-fit connections require proper pipe preparation and a compatible press tool rated for the fitting system in use. Verify the compression outlet connection is tightened appropriately to seat the ferrule without over-tightening, which can damage the fitting.
