Sharkbite UAB23057LFA Pex-a Stop Valve

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UAB23057LFA is a PEX-A stop valve designed for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This fitting provides a reliable shutoff point on PEX-A supply lines, allowing technicians and plumbers to isolate a fixture or branch line without cutting or soldering. The push-to-connect design is compatible with PEX-A tubing and is suited for in-wall, under-sink, and rough-in installations where a compact, serviceable shutoff is required. At 0.215 pounds, the valve is lightweight and easy to handle in tight spaces.
