Sharkbite/cash Acme 24635LF 3/4 Inch Stop Valve with Drain

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24635LF is a 3/4-inch stop valve with an integrated drain, designed for push-to-fit installation without soldering, gluing, or additional tools. The forged body provides structural durability under normal service pressure. A multi-turn valve handle allows for precise regulation of water flow rather than simple on/off shutoff. The integrated drain vent supports winterization and cold-weather maintenance, making it a practical choice for systems exposed to freeze risk. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters are the primary installers for this type of valve in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a shutoff with drain capability is required at branch or fixture isolation points. The push-to-fit connection method is compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe, covering the most common pipe materials found in new construction and retrofit work. The integrated drain port eliminates the need for a separate drain valve when blowing down or draining a line section during cold-weather shutdown or repair work.

Key Features

• Push-to-fit connection works with copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe — no solder, glue, unions, or special tools required
• Multi-turn valve design allows for fine water flow regulation, not just full open/full close
• Forged body construction for strength and durability in pressurized water service
• Integrated drain vent port supports cold-weather maintenance and freeze protection procedures
• Lead-free (LF) designation suitable for potable water applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. No compatibility with specific model numbers or system families was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line to install this valve. Push-to-fit connections require that pipe ends be cut square, deburred, and fully seated to the depth mark before the fitting locks. Do not use pipe dope or thread sealant on the push-to-fit ports.
