The NIBCO Press System ball valve body is manufactured from lead free Brass alloy and is dezincification resistant (DZR). The ball valve is designed with a PEX x Press-to-connect end connections and is an ideal valve to transition from copper to PEX piping. The PEX connection is F1807 (crimp) type. The press-to-connect end is engineered with an inboard bead and a leak detection EPDM O-ring press end for quick and easy copper to copper joinery. Properly applying pressure from a press-fit tool tightens the O-ring onto the tube, ensuring a clean, permanent, watertight seal in seconds, with no flame, solder or flux.
