Sharkbite/cash Acme 22462LFA 3/4 in Barb Ball Valve Pex

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 22462LFA is a lead-free brass ball valve designed for use in PEX tubing systems. It features a 3/4-inch brass barb insert on each end and operates with a simple 1/4-turn lever handle for fast shutoff. The valve is intended for potable water applications in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is installed using stainless steel cinch clamps and a compatible cinch tool, making it a practical choice for licensed plumbers working on hot or cold water distribution lines where code compliance and low-lead certification are required.

This valve is suited for residential and commercial PEX plumbing installations where a reliable inline shutoff is needed. It connects via 3/4-inch barb insert fittings to SDR-9 dimensional standard PEX tubing using stainless steel cinch clamps and cinch tool TV 608-743. It is also rated for hot water recirculation systems where chlorinated water at up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit is continuously circulated, making it appropriate for domestic hot water loops.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or UPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into an existing line. Barb connections require proper stainless steel cinch clamps and a calibrated cinch tool — do not substitute with non-rated clamps. Verify that the tubing meets SDR-9 dimensional standards before making connections.
