One end accepts a push-in quick connect fitting for fast, tool-free tube insertion, while the other end terminates in a 3\/8-inch male pipe thread (MPT) for standard threaded connection. This valve is intended for low-pressure water supply applications where a reliable shutoff point is needed. It is sold in a pack of 5 units, making it practical for multi-fixture installs or service stock. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of valve in residential and light commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve suits applications where flexible poly tubing or soft copper runs are connected to a threaded port, such as ice maker supply lines, water filtration systems, and similar low-pressure service lines. It is not rated for use with steel tubing and must not be used in concealed installations where access for inspection or servicing is restricted. The quick connect end simplifies connections in tight spaces without the need for compression fittings or flare tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick connect inlet accepts 3\/8-inch OD poly or soft copper tubing without additional fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch male pipe thread outlet for standard threaded port connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight valve configuration provides in-line shutoff capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for steel tubing or concealed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a pack of 5 units for multi-unit service or inventory stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8-inch outside diameter poly or soft copper tubing connecting to a 3\/8-inch male pipe thread port.
