Matco-norca 39163 Ball Valve 3/4 in Female X Pex Full Port

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 39163 is a full-port, lead-free ball valve designed for 3/4-inch female inlet by 3/4-inch PEX cold expansion connections conforming to ASTM F1960. Full-port construction delivers unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop, making it well-suited for potable water and hydronic distribution systems. The lead-free designation meets NSF and Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for use on domestic water lines. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this valve as a service shutoff or zone isolation point on PEX-A piping systems.

This valve is applied in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where PEX-A cold expansion tubing is used. It is a reliable choice for in-line shutoff service on domestic hot and cold water distribution, radiant heating loops, and manifold branch takeoffs. The cold expansion F1960 end connection requires an expansion tool and appropriately sized PEX-A expansion rings before installation.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation ball valve for 3/4-inch PEX-A cold expansion piping systems conforming to ASTM F1960.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM F1960 procedures. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing the valve. A proper PEX-A expansion tool and correct-size expansion rings are required to form a leak-free cold expansion joint. Do not use with PEX-B or PEX-C tubing, which require different connection methods.
