About This Product

The Apollo ExpansionPEX 3/4 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 3/4 in. Solder Ball Valve is the perfect valve for making a transition from a copper based piping system to PEX-A piping systems. It is simple to install and provides flow control through an anti-stick and smooth operating quarter turn lever handle. Apollo ExpansionPEX barb fittings are a key component to one of the most economical potable water piping systems. Also capable of integration into hydronic heating systems, Apollo ExpansionPEX couplings must be secured into place Apollo ExpansionPEX sleeves or comparable expansion-type sleeve or ring (all sold separately). The Apollo ExpansionPEX system is a comprehensive piping system comprised of lead free brass fittings, poly alloy fittings, manifolds, valves, fasteners, tools and tubing designed for implementation in water delivery systems, simple or complex. A cold-expansion tool (sold separately) is required for installation.

    Is this a male or female fitting?

    Answer This Question

    This valve has a barb connection on one end and a solder connection on the other. A barb connection is a male fitting and the solder connection is designed to accept a male copper pipe, making it a female fitting. Therefore, this valve has both male and female connections.

    Inner Diameter too small
    Like the other reviews state, the inner diameter is small. It looks like the inner diameter is less than 1/2 inch. This is like taking a garden hose and putting your thumb over the end. Your pressure is going to increase, but your flow rate is going to decrease. If your looking for a full flow valve this isn’t it.

      Not a full-bore valve
      The bore of the ball is WAY smaller than the bore of the pipe, which defeats the purpose of a pex-A system. I wouldn't have bought them if I had realized. A full bore valve looks like the one on the right. This one is the ball valve on the left. Both are 3/4in sweat valves. I wish I had noticed sooner.

        Excellent product for my home repair project. Small & compact size suits my needs. I wish Home Depot carry 1/2 size sweat shut off valves to PEX-A.

        the inside diameter (smallest point) is too small
        I was so disappointed for this "PEX A" product. The inside diameter should be close to the same size as 3/4" pipe. It has PEX A connector, but it's water flow is more like PEX -B. I bought 6 of these, then realized that the hole (inside) is too small for PEX A type fittings. so, I returned all to Home Depot.

          Easy to attach pex to copper, but big caveat
          I used this valve to sweat copper to a PEX-A connection to my hot water heater. I thought it was great to have a shut-off built in with the PEX-A to copper connection, but boy do I regret it. I'm desoldering it (after writing this review) and returning to THD. The aperture inside the valve is a major choke-point on a 3/4" copper line. My wife showed me how the hot water pressure is far less than the cold water, and I know it is due to the very small aperture where the shutoff is at. This is not the ball valve I would expect to use on anything except perhaps a temporary shutoff on something that doesn't require full water pressure flow. I'm very disappointed in the size of the aperture inside the valve; it was rate-limiting and the goal of PEX-A is to reduce rate-limiting constrictions. This is going back to the store! Bah humbug!
