Rwc 24813A Pex Washing Machine Valve 1/2 in Barb X 3/4 in Mnpt

Product Description

The RWC 24813A is a cold water washing machine shutoff valve designed for PEX tubing installations. It features a 1/2 inch PEX barb inlet and a 3/4 inch MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread) outlet, connecting PEX supply lines directly to washing machine hose connections. The valve body is constructed from DZR (dezincification resistant) brass, which resists corrosion in potable water systems. A blue handle identifies this as the cold water model. NSF-certified for use in water distribution systems, this valve suits residential laundry installations where a dedicated shutoff at the machine connection point is required. Plumbers and qualified plumbing contractors are the typical installers.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial laundry room applications where PEX water distribution piping terminates at a washing machine connection. The 1/2 inch PEX barb fitting works with standard 1/2 inch PEX-A, PEX-B, or PEX-C tubing, and the 3/4 inch MNPT outlet threads directly onto standard washing machine hose inlets. It is intended for cold water supply lines and is rated for typical residential water service pressures and temperatures. The barb connection method lowers material cost compared to press-fit or crimp-ring alternatives.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch PEX barb inlet connects directly to standard PEX tubing without specialty tools
• 3/4 inch MNPT outlet threads onto standard washing machine hose fittings
• DZR brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion in potable water service
• Blue handle provides quick visual identification as cold water supply valve
• NSF-certified for use in potable water distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch PEX tubing (PEX-A, PEX-B, or PEX-C) in residential washing machine cold water supply installations requiring a 3/4 inch MNPT outlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into existing supply lines or making barb connections. Secure the PEX barb connection with an appropriately sized crimp ring or clamp ring using the correct crimping or clamping tool rated for the tubing type. Do not overtighten the MNPT threaded connection; use thread sealant tape rated for potable water service.
