Sharkbite 24634LF 1/2 Inch Stop Valve with Drain Push-to-fit

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24634LF is a 1/2 inch push-to-fit stop valve with an integrated drain vent, designed for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The valve connects to copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe without solder, glue, unions, or special tools, making it a practical choice for fast shutoff installations. A multi-turn handle allows flow regulation rather than simple on/off operation. The forged body provides structural durability under normal service pressure. The built-in drain vent supports cold-weather maintenance and helps protect against freeze damage by allowing the line to be drained after shutoff.

This valve is suited for residential water supply shutoff applications including fixture isolation, appliance supply lines, and outdoor or unconditioned-space installations where freeze protection is a concern. The push-to-fit connection makes it accessible to both licensed plumbers and qualified DIYers working on standard residential pipe sizes. It is sold in a package of 12 units, making it a practical stocking item for service vehicles or supply houses. No flame, no solvent cement, and no compression fittings are required for installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing supply line.

Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for shutoff valve placement and drain valve accessibility.
