It connects a 1\/2-inch PEX-A expansion inlet to a 3\/8-inch OD compression outlet, making it a common choice for fixture supply connections such as lavatory and toilet rough-ins. The body is constructed from lead-free dezincification resistant brass, meeting requirements for use in drinking water applications. Installation requires a PEX expansion tool and compatible expansion rings — the fitting cannot be made with standard crimp or clamp tooling. Licensed plumbers typically install this valve in residential and light commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stop valve fits into PEX-A distribution systems where a shutoff point is needed at the point of use. The 3\/8-inch OD compression outlet is a standard size for connecting to fixture supply lines serving lavatories, toilets, and similar fixtures. Because the PEX-A expansion method cold-expands the pipe before insertion, the joint recovers tightly around the fitting as the pipe returns to its original diameter, producing a reliable seal. This valve is sold individually but is packaged in quantities of 24 units per case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free dezincification resistant brass construction for potable water compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch PEX-A expansion inlet pairs with the PEX-A expansion method — not compatible with crimp or clamp pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch OD compression outlet suits standard fixture supply line connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight stop configuration provides inline shutoff at point-of-use locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for potable water distribution systems in residential and light commercial installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only.

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM F1960 standards for PEX-A expansion connections. Verify that the compression nut and sleeve are fully seated on the fixture supply line before turning water back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches PEX-A expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches OD compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-free dezincification resistant brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 per case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.97 pounds (case)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE CASH ACME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UAB23057LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558873104690,"sku":"UAB23057LFA","price":244.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa1e172b47dab67500d4408516e8d32d.jpg?v=1786421457","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-uab23057lfa-pex-a-straight-stop-valve-1-2x3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
