What Is a Push Fit Ball Valve?
A push fit ball valve combines a quarter-turn shutoff valve with push-fit end connections. Instead of creating a soldered, glued, or mechanically clamped connection, compatible tubing is prepared and inserted directly into the push-fit ends of the valve.
The ball-valve mechanism provides quick open-and-close operation with a short handle movement. This makes the valve useful where a section of piping needs a convenient isolation point for maintenance, repairs, equipment servicing, or general water-flow control.

Quarter-Turn Ball Valve Design
The Charman Push Fit Ball Valve uses a quarter-turn ball-valve mechanism to provide straightforward water-flow control. Rotating the handle approximately 90 degrees moves the valve between its open and closed positions, allowing a section of the piping system to be isolated quickly.
Push-fit connections on the valve ends help simplify installation on compatible tubing. With 1/2", 3/4", and 1" sizes available, the valve can be selected to match several common residential and commercial CTS water-distribution applications.
