Plastic valves?


What are these plastic valves? They are all over this 2011 condo. Any known issues?

I see them all the time around SC, and I don’t think there is a major builder around here that isn’t using them on new construction right now. So, no known issue to me.

Assuming condo fitted with PEX…

Cheap a$$ push/pull shut-off valves.

Ya pull and push the knob to turn on/off water to the fixture. We’ll know if these have problems in a few years.

Yep, super-common around Oregon too. I figure they are good for about three push/pulls before they break.

Do you know if these connect to copper and PEX?

David do you see the color of the pipe the valve is connected to?

PEX tube and L and M copper have the same OD.
