Rwc 24634LF 1/2 in Push-to-connect Brass Gate Valve

Product Description

The RWC 24634LF is a 1/2-inch SharkBite-style push-to-connect gate valve constructed from forged brass and designed for quick, tool-free installation on potable water supply systems. The valve connects to 1/2-inch pipe on both ends using a push-fit mechanism that eliminates the need for soldering, glue, unions, or specialty tools. Its multi-turn gate design allows precise regulation of water flow rather than simple on/off shutoff. The one-piece forged brass body delivers long-term durability under normal residential and light commercial service conditions. An integrated drain vent port is built into the valve body to support cold-weather maintenance and freeze protection. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This gate valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a tool-free, push-to-connect solution is required. It is compatible with any combination of copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe, making it highly versatile across mixed-material plumbing systems. Typical install scenarios include main supply lines, branch shutoffs, and retrofit work where access is limited and soldering is not practical or permitted.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line and installing this valve. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion into the push-fit fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings for the pipe type being used on either side of the valve.
