A SharkBite shut-off valve in both angle and straight configurations is a plumbing fitting that allows for easy control of water flow in a pipe system. Here are some key points about SharkBite shut-off valves:
- Function: SharkBite shut-off valves are designed to provide a convenient way to turn the water supply on or off to a specific section of a plumbing system.
- Construction: SharkBite shut-off valves feature a push-to-connect design, which allows for quick and tool-free installation. They have a built-in mechanism that securely holds the pipe in place without the need for additional fittings.
- Material: SharkBite shut-off valves are typically made from durable and corrosion-resistant brass material, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Angle and Straight Configurations: SharkBite shut-off valves are available in both angle and straight configurations. The angle valve has a 90-degree bend, making it ideal for tight spaces or when the pipe needs to change direction. The straight valve offers a straight-through flow, suitable for applications where a straight connection is required.
- Installation: Installing a SharkBite shut-off valve is simple. Clean and deburr the pipe, then push the valve onto the pipe until it reaches the depth mark. The built-in O-ring and stainless steel teeth provide a secure and leak-free connection.
- Compatibility: SharkBite shut-off valves are compatible with various types of pipes, including copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT pipes, offering versatility in different plumbing applications.
