Videos
The SharkBite 23057LF straight stop valve is a lead-free brass shutoff valve designed for potable water systems. This valve allows you to shut off water flow to an individual fixture for maintenance and repair without turning off water to the entire home, making it ideal for stub-outs coming out of the wall.
The valve features a 1/2 in. brass barb insert that connects to PEX tubing and a 3/8 in. O.D. compression outlet for fixture supply lines. With a simple quarter-turn oval handle, this valve provides reliable, quick shutoff of water supply. The brass barb insert secures directly to 1/2 in. cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing using cinch clamps or copper crimp rings, while the compression outlet connects to standard fixture supply connectors.
