It features a 1\/2 inch PEX barb inlet and a 3\/4 inch MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread) outlet, with a red handle to indicate hot water service. The valve body is constructed from DZR (dezincification resistant) brass, providing long-term corrosion resistance in potable water systems. The PEX barb connection requires a compatible crimp or clamp ring and eliminates the need for soldering at the valve inlet. NSF-certified for use in drinking water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle this installation in new construction and retrofit laundry supply lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for connecting 1\/2 inch PEX tubing to a standard 3\/4 inch MNPT washing machine outlet box or wall stub-out. It is commonly installed in residential laundry rooms, utility spaces, and multifamily construction where PEX water distribution systems are used. The red handle provides a clear visual indicator for hot water service, making it straightforward to differentiate supply lines during rough-in and service calls. The barb-style PEX connection is well suited for applications where lower material cost is a priority over push-to-connect fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch PEX barb inlet for use with standard crimp or clamp ring installation tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch MNPT outlet threads to standard washing machine outlet boxes and wall stubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDZR brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion in potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed handle identifies hot water service at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF certified for use in potable water distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for residential and light commercial PEX water distribution systems terminating at standard 3\/4 inch MNPT washing machine outlet boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work.

Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MNPT threads before making up the outlet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch PEX barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\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 approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.517 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\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: 24998A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344912548146,"sku":"24998A","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551181.jpg?v=1782045321","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-24998a-pex-washing-machine-valve-1-2-in-hot","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
