Product Overview

SharkBite, 1/2 in. PEX-A x 1/2 in. brass expansion ball valve. Designed for use with PEX-A pipe and expansion rings. SharkBite expansion fittings are designed for use in potable water distribution systems. Expansion fittings require an expansion tool in ordered to make the connection. Lead-free dezincification resistant brass construction. Compatible with PEX-A pipe only. Requires PEX expansion tool and expansion rings to make connection. Approved for water service lines and burial applications including concrete. Meets ASTM F-1960 and ASTM F-877 standard.
  • Made from high-performance DZR lead-free brass, the UAB2246LFA ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance and durability even in demanding water systems
  • Designed to connect with PEX-A pipe using expansion rings, it provides a secure, reliable connection that s drip-free and stable over time
  • Its quarter-turn full-port ball valve design offers smooth, full-flow water control - ideal for quickly shutting off water for maintenance or repairs
  • Certified for use in potable water and hydronic heating systems, it gives you versatility - safe for drinking water and suitable for radiant heating or cooling installations
  • With a working temperature range up to 160 deg. F (at appropriate pressure ratings), it performs reliably in both hot and cold water applications
  • When installed properly with compatible piping, the connection continues to strengthen over time - providing long-term reliability with minimal maintenance
  • The valve's full-port flow minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, helping maintain efficient water pressure throughout the plumbing system
  • Because it's compatible only with PEX-A (and uses expansion rings), installation avoids soldering, glues, or complex fittings - reducing labor time and the risk of leaks
  • The UAB2246LFA is backed by a 25-year system warranty (when used with SharkBite PEX-A tubing), offering peace of mind and long-term protection
  • Its robust lead-free construction and compliance with relevant plumbing standards make it a safe, code-compliant choice for modern residential or commercial plumbing jobs
