On/Off Valves with Press-Connect Fittings
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: See Table
- Seal Material: EPDM Rubber
- Specifications Met: NSF/ANSI 61
For a leak-tight connection that doesn’t require heat or soldering, these valves have press-connect fittings that crimp to metal tubing with a press-connect crimping tool (sold separately). They meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use with drinking water. All are full port, so they do not restrict flow.
Valves with a lockable handle can be fixed in place using a padlock (not included).
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

Gradual On/Off Valves with Press-Connect Fittings
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Water
- Specifications Met: MSS-SP-80
For a leak-tight connection, crimp the press-connect fittings on these valves to metal tubing with a crimping tool (not included)—no heat or soldering required. The fittings are comparable to Viega fittings. These valves open and close gradually as the wheel handle turns, preventing sudden starts and stops of flow. They’re also known as gate valves. Made of bronze, they have good corrosion resistance.
Valves with a nonrising stem keep the handle in the same position whether they’re open or closed. They’re often used in low-clearance locations.
Valves with a rising stem lift up the handle as they open and lower it as they close. At a glance, you can see if flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from what’s flowing through your line, giving these valves a longer lifespan than valves with a nonrising stem.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
