SharkBite 25560LF Washing Machine Straight Valve Angle, Copper

I do a lot of remodeling/handyman work. I'm comfortable and capable soldering copper, solvent welding plastic pipe, and running pex. I've plumbed whole houses. But when it comes to hooking up a washing machine, these are the best thing going. They attach solidly to the wall and easily connect to pex or 1/2 inch copper. I love the 1/4 turn ball valve, which provides excellent water volume and easy shut off, particularly for elderly customers or small women. The other big advantage to these is that they are easily replaced if they leak or fail--which I haven't had happen. I've replaced a lot of those bronze double throw hot and cold valves when they fail, which is common, with these--it is quick, effective, and an improvement. Although pricey, they make a hassle of a job easy.

Had to replace two leaking inlet hoses to a washing machine. Worked great on copper pipes. Done in 15mins. No leaks after a few loads, love the shut off valves.

Works great

These things are convenient and easy to use. No leaks so far this is the second or third purchase. And they have been installed over a year with no problems. Fit well. And cheaper than the big box stores

Works Great! No leaks!
