Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24998A is a PEX washing machine valve designed for hot water inlet applications in residential laundry installations. It features a 1/2 inch PEX barb fitting and a 3/4 inch male NPT (MNPT) outlet connection. The red handle provides a clear visual indicator for hot water service. Rated to 200 degrees F and 200 psi, this valve is built for reliable shutoff performance in standard residential water supply systems. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers use this valve to provide dedicated shutoff access at the washing machine connection point.

This valve is intended for use with PEX tubing in residential washing machine supply line installations. The 1/2 inch PEX barb inlet connects directly to PEX supply tubing, while the 3/4 inch MNPT outlet threads into a standard washing machine hose connection.
