You need a crimper and rings to install this valve.
Community Reviews
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.
The drain-port feature can be useful for specific winterization scenarios that require full emptying.
The valve uses DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, which can help reduce zinc leaching in hard-water conditions.
The valve is designed for PEX pipe, which can fit common PEX supply line setups without mixing materials.
The valve is for PEX pipe and may not be compatible with CPVC setups that use glue instead of clamp or cinch rings.
The crimp-style installation requires a crimper and rings, so it is not a push-together valve.
A drain port is not needed in most applications, so paying for that feature may be unnecessary for under-sink or in-line uses.
