This SharkBite brass crimp ball valve is a PEX shutoff valve that stands out for its DZR brass construction, which is valued for resisting dezincification in hard water. It is also useful for winterization or other lines that need to be fully drained, especially when a drain port or nipple matters. Installation is not push together, though, since it needs a crimp or cinch tool and rings. It is not for copper pipe or CPVC, which uses glue instead. A solid fit for PEX plumbing when the right crimping gear is already on hand.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. This is a crimp-style SharkBite valve, not the push-to-connect type, so installation requires a crimper and rings or a crimp/cinch tool.

  • No. CPVC typically uses solvent glue rather than clamp or cinch rings, so the PEX crimp system does not apply.

  • It is for PEX pipe, not copper pipe. The fitting is meant to be crimped onto PEX with the proper rings and tool.

  • A drain port is useful when the line needs to be fully emptied for winterization, such as outdoor spigots or other freeze-prone runs. For many indoor shutoffs like under-sink or laundry lines, a non-drain-port valve is usually fine.

  • Yes. It is made from DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, which helps reduce zinc leaching and early failure in hard-water systems.

Do the same tool and rings work for cpvc as pex?
As far as I know cpvc does not have any type of system for clamp /cinch rings and is put together using glue. The only thing I can think of that you may be referring to are Fernco fittings which is a rubber fitting with hose clamps on it that can be used in low pressure ( think drainage pipe, not any type of supply pipe . They are just regular home clamps that you use a screwdriver to tighten.

Don't use CPVC if you can avoid it. CPVC typically uses a special glue made for it. Even in best conditions and installations it's still pretty crappy. If you've got CPVC you can transition to pex then continue with pex.
