Sharkbite/cash Acme COMPDO123814Z Brass Ball Outlet Valve

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME COMPDO123814Z is a dual full-port brass ball outlet valve with a 1/2-inch compression inlet and a 1/4-inch OD compression outlet. Designed for residential plumbing supply applications, this valve uses a quarter-turn ball mechanism that provides a full, unobstructed flow path in the open position and a positive shutoff when closed. The compression fittings on both ends secure to the supply pipe and outlet line using a compression nut and ferrule, eliminating the need for soldering or special tools. Licensed plumbers and skilled tradespersons install this valve where a reliable branch shutoff is needed for fixture supply lines.

This valve is suited for residential plumbing installations where a controlled water supply connection is required at ice makers, toilets, and faucets. The 1/2-inch compression inlet connects directly to the supply pipe, while the 1/4-inch OD compression outlet interfaces with a standard appliance or fixture supply line. Its compact brass construction makes it appropriate for under-sink, behind-toilet, and refrigerator ice maker rough-in locations. The quarter-turn operation allows fast manual shutoff without the valve degrading over time from repeated use.

Key Features

• Quarter-turn ball mechanism provides full-port flow and positive shutoff in a single 90-degree handle rotation
• 1/2-inch compression inlet x 1/4-inch OD compression outlet — no soldering required
• Dual full-port design minimizes flow restriction across both inlet and outlet ports
• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in potable water service
• Compression nut and ferrule attachment method works with a standard wrench — no specialty tools needed
• Sold as a package of 6 units, suitable for stocking service vans or completing multi-fixture jobs

Compatibility

Compatible with copper pipe supply lines using standard compression fittings. Suitable for use at ice maker, toilet, and faucet supply connections in residential plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. Secure the compression nut and ferrule to the supply pipe using two wrenches — one to hold the valve body and one to tighten the nut — to avoid stressing the valve body. Do not overtighten the compression fittings, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
