Rwc 24612LFA 1/2 in Brass Barb Ball Valve with Drain

Product Description

The RWC 24612LFA is a 1/2-inch brass barb ball valve with integrated drain port, designed for use in PEX tubing water distribution systems. Manufactured by SharkBite under the RWC brand, this valve is constructed from DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, providing reliable corrosion resistance in potable water applications. The barb connection style offers a straightforward, cost-effective alternative to push-fit or soldered connections when joining PEX tubing. The quarter-turn ball valve mechanism provides positive shutoff, and the built-in drain port allows the line to be fully purged without additional fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in both new construction and retrofit plumbing projects.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial water distribution systems where PEX tubing is the pipe material of choice. It is particularly useful in locations requiring an inline shutoff with drain capability, such as hose bib supply lines, appliance supply branches, and zone isolation points. The barb connection method is a practical choice when reduced material cost is a project priority over push-fit convenience. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any supply line. Barb fittings require a properly sized stainless steel clamp ring or crimp ring secured with the appropriate tool to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings for PEX tubing when selecting the installation location.
