Matco-norca 754pxcede05lf 1 in Pex Ball Valve Lead-free

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 754pxcede05lf is a 1-inch lead-free, full-port ball valve engineered for cold expansion PEX systems using the ASTM F1960 standard. Featuring a C46500 brass body, ball, and stem, this valve delivers a 400 psi pressure rating with a blow-out proof stem for long-term, leak-resistant service. The lever handle provides quarter-turn shutoff, and the included waste drain and drop ear elbow add versatile serviceability in tight residential or light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers install this valve as a reliable inline shutoff on PEX cold expansion distribution lines.

This valve is sized for 1-inch PEX-to-PEX cold expansion connections per ASTM F1960, making it a direct fit for Uponor-style cold expansion PEX systems. Its full-port design minimizes flow restriction across domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and similar plumbing applications. The drop ear elbow inclusion allows the valve to be wall-mounted where a clean, supported connection point is required. The PTFE seats and EPDM O-ring seals hold up in both hot and cold water service typical of residential and light commercial builds.

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 relieve system pressure before making any connections. Use the appropriate cold expansion tool and PEX expansion rings rated for ASTM F1960 to seat connections properly. Do not over-stress the drop ear elbow mounting — secure it to framing with appropriate fasteners before pressurizing the system.
