Sharkbite/cash Acme 24630LF No-kink 45 Degree Hose Bibb

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24630LF is a no-kink hose bibb designed for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable outdoor or utility water connection is needed. The valve features a push-to-connect inlet that accepts either a 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch pipe and transitions to a 3/4-inch male hose thread (MHT) outlet. The 45-degree angle between inlet and outlet reduces hose kinking at the connection point. The body is forged for structural strength and includes an integrated mounting flange to secure the valve to a wall or mounting surface. Both quarter-turn and multi-turn operation are supported, giving installers flexibility in flow regulation.

This hose bibb suits residential exterior walls, utility rooms, irrigation connections, and similar installations where a push-to-connect fitting simplifies rough-in. The push-to-connect inlet is compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe, making it adaptable across a wide range of existing supply line materials. The 45-degree outlet orientation is particularly useful in tight wall cavities or wherever a straight bibb would cause the connected hose to kink at the spigot. This item ships in a package quantity of 6 units.

Key Features

• Forged body construction for long-term durability under pressure cycling
• Integrated mounting flange for secure attachment to the mounting surface

Compatibility

The push-to-connect inlet is compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipes in either 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch sizes. The outlet connects to standard 3/4-inch male hose thread fittings and garden hoses.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into the supply pipe or removing an existing bibb. Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred before inserting it into the push-to-connect inlet. The mounting flange should be fastened securely to a structural surface to prevent stress on the valve body during hose connection and disconnection.
