1/2 Inch PEX Faucet Water Shutoff Valve

[wdk450]

Gang:
I have been doing some online research on this item this morning. None of the home improvement stores seem to stock these, but i did find this one from Sharkbite on the Ace Hardware website that you can order in to your local Ace store with free shipping. You ought to have at least one of these on your toilet fresh water line, and home building codes require these on all fresh water faucets:

SharkBite Quick Connect 1/2 in. CTS X 1/2 in. D CTS Plastic Stop Valve - Ace Hardware

Works with copper, CPVC, Pex, LPDE, MPDE, HDPE and polybutylene tubing in hot and cold water applications. Incorporates stainless steel gripping teeth in the collets, allowing the connectors to interconnect with multiple materials without special tools or tube inserts. Exclusive O-ring guide...

I use lead-free brass like these. Minimum shipping is easier to take if you're ordering more than a single item.

When the fitting for my bathroom sink started leaking, I was able to find a Sharkbite hose that included a shutoff as part of the assembly. It was a bit pricey, but solved the issue and was available locally at Home Depot.

Luckily I caught the leak early since I have a water alarm under the sink. It was one of those leaks that only appeared after the hot water heater increased pressure in the lines.

What I was looking for is a push-on "Sharkbite-Type" 1/2 inch PEX tubing on the inlet and outlet ends of the valve so that I could simply cut the existing PEX tubing feed to my faucets and insert the valve with no hassle.

Every store's stock is a little different but for what it's worth I often find that Ace Hardware and Lowes have better plumbing supply stocks than Home Depot. I've definitely bought half-inch Shark-Bite valves there before...

Check out PEX Universe. I’ve ordered from them and they’ve been great!

That’s good reasoning and I can’t disagree with doing it that way. Cost less and saves a step. I’m just used to residential and commercial plumbing so I like an angle stop or straight stop and brass.
