EFIELD 10 PC 3/4" PEX-A Expansion Shut off Brass Ball Valve /Drop-ear Lead Free

About this item

If your system uses expansion fittings, you'll want a 3/4 inch PEX-A expansion ball valve rather than a crimp-style one. This EFIELD lot has ten lead-free brass shutoffs with drop ears for screwing each valve to blocking. It's listed new at $69.99 from an independent eBay seller.

Can I use PEX-A expansion valves with crimp rings?

Generally no. Expansion fittings are made to fit into PEX-A pipe that's been stretched open, and an expansion ring holds the joint. Check the listing for the ring style and expander head it's meant to work with.

• Pipe: expansion joints are for PEX-A only.
• Drop ear: holds the valve steady when you turn the handle.
• Where they go: fixture branches, main shutoffs and manifold shutoffs.
• Before you build: check local code for PEX and for access to shutoffs.
