It connects on both ends via SharkBite-style barb fittings, making it compatible with standard PEX tubing without the need for press tools or soldering. The valve body is constructed from DZR (dezincification resistant) brass, which resists corrosion in chlorinated water environments. The full-port design maintains unrestricted flow through the valve bore, reducing pressure drop. NSF certification confirms the valve meets standards for contact with drinking water. Plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in residential and light commercial water supply applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball valve is intended for PEX water distribution systems where barb-style connections are preferred over push-to-connect or press fittings. The barb connection method lowers material cost while maintaining a secure, reliable joint when installed with appropriate PEX clamp rings or crimp rings. Typical install scenarios include shutoff points on branch lines, fixture supply risers, and retrofit applications where copper or CPVC piping transitions to PEX tubing. Both inlet and outlet are 3\/4-inch CF (crimp fitting) barb connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-port ball valve design for unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDZR brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion in potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch barb connections on both ends for use with standard PEX tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF-certified for use in drinking water distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarb connection system reduces material cost compared to press or push-fit alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/4-inch PEX tubing in potable water distribution systems using the SharkBite barb connection system with compatible PEX clamp or crimp rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installation. Barb connections require a PEX clamp tool or crimp tool with the appropriate ring size — verify ring compatibility with the tubing brand before installation. Do not overtighten clamp rings beyond tool specification, and inspect the joint for proper seating before restoring water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barb (CF) x Barb (CF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch x 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: DZR Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.412 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22462LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346514837810,"sku":"22462LFA","price":21.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551151.jpg?v=1782082445","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-22462lfa-sharkbite-3-4-in-brass-pex-ball-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
