CUT. PUSH. DONE. The SharkBite Washing Machine Straight Valve is lead free brass with a quarter turn angle water valve with mounting brackets. Intended for use in washing machine installations with no washing machine outlet box. This valve controls water supply and minimizes the risk of flooding. The valve is mounted to a stud or joist and features a 1/2 inch inlet and a 3/4 inch standard garden hose thread outlet connection. Our product works with your existing plumbing, is easy to disassemble for changing fittings, and can be rotated for easier installation in tight spaces. The SharkBite Connection System makes any plumbing project fast and easy with our unique push-to-connect technology. When you insert a pipe into the SharkBite quick connect fittings, the stainless-steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe, while the specially formulated O-ring compresses to create the perfect watertight seal. SharkBite push connect fittings are the no fuss way to fix small leaks or plumb a whole house. Whether you need to repair a broken pipe or plumb a whole house, SharkBite fittings are the push-to-connect solution for leak-free results.
