K22222 Push-to-connect Ball Valve, 1/2 In., Brass Body

The SharkBite K22222 is a push-to-connect ball valve designed to shut off water flow during servicing and repairs on PEX plumbing systems. This valve eliminates the need for crimp rings, clamps, or special tools, making installation faster and reducing the risk of errors. The green visual indicator confirms that PEX pipe is inserted to the proper depth, ensuring a secure connection every time.
