Nibco px01546x Ball Valve 3/4 Inch F1807 Lead Free

Product Description

The NIBCO px01546x is a lead-free ball valve designed for use in potable water and hydronic piping systems. Built to ASTM F1807 standards, this 3/4-inch valve features a stainless steel clamp (SSC) x stainless steel clamp (SSC) end configuration, making it compatible with PEX tubing installations. The lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance requirements for installation in potable water systems. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this valve as a shutoff or isolation point within PEX-based distribution systems in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using PEX tubing. The F1807 crimp-ring connection method with stainless steel clamp fittings is a common configuration in water service, hot and cold supply lines, and hydronic heating distribution. Installation is straightforward with standard PEX crimp or clamp tools, making it a practical choice for inline shutoff service in tight spaces where soldered fittings are not practical.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance for potable water use
• 3/4-inch nominal size for standard residential and light commercial PEX distribution lines
• F1807 SSC x SSC end connections compatible with stainless steel PEX clamp tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation ball valve for 3/4-inch PEX piping systems using ASTM F1807 stainless steel clamp connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installation. Use a calibrated PEX clamp or crimp tool rated for F1807 stainless steel clamp rings to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten or use pipe wrenches directly on the valve body.
