F1960 Ball Valves are specifically designed for PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping systems and use the ASTM F1960 expansion connection method. This makes them popular in residential and commercial plumbing for reliable water flow control in PEX tubing networks.

These valves contain a rotating ball with a hole through its center. By turning the valve handle, the ball aligns with or blocks the water flow. The F1960 expansion fittings create a secure, leak-resistant connection when combined with a PEX expansion ring and tool.

F1960 Ball Valves are widely used in potable water systems, heating and cooling, and other hydronic applications where PEX tubing is used. They offer a quick shut-off solution for isolated areas in the plumbing system.

F1960 Ball Valves provide a robust, durable, and leak-resistant connection with PEX systems. The ASTM F1960 standard allows for a stronger, long-lasting connection that is more resistant to thermal expansion and contraction.

No, F1960 Ball Valves are specifically designed for PEX systems using the F1960 expansion method and are not compatible with copper or CPVC pipes.

Yes, installation requires a PEX expansion tool and expansion ring, making it a quick and secure option in plumbing setups, especially in PEX systems.
