What is a PEX-B crimp ball valve?
A PEX-B ball valve has barbed crimp ends made to ASTM F1807. Slide a copper crimp ring over the tube, push the tube onto the barb, and close the ring with a crimp tool; a stainless cinch clamp (ASTM F2098) does the same job with a clamp tool. Check every joint with the go/no-go gauge.
Crimp and clamp fittings work with PEX-B, and with PEX-A and PEX-C where the tube maker lists them. Match the valve to the ring or clamp system already on the truck.

Common questions
Can I use a crimp PEX ball valve with PEX-A tubing?
Often, yes. Crimp and clamp fittings made to ASTM F1807 or F2098 work with PEX-B, and with PEX-A and PEX-C where the tube maker lists them. Follow the tube manufacturer’s listing for the fitting system.
Are these ball valves lead free?
Valves sold in the United States for potable water must be lead free under the federal Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act: no more than 0.25% lead by weighted average across the wetted surfaces. Look for NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 on the product listing.
Is the custom sleeve really free?
Yes. Plate design, plate making, and sleeve printing are free, forever, with any lever-handle ball valve ordered through The Plumber's Choice or Standard Plumbing Supply. Our graphic artists help at no charge, and your approved design is reused on every future order.
Will a custom sleeve fit this valve?
Custom sleeves slide over the lever handle of a ball valve. Three plate sizes are made from the same approved design so it fits different handle sizes, and your design prints in any of our print colors on any of our sleeve colors.
Do I need an order before I start designing?
No. You can open the designer and start without an account. A valid custom-sleeve valve order must exist before our artists begin the plate, and anything you make beforehand carries over once the order is confirmed. Plates are made within 2 business days of final draft approval.
