1/2" Sweat 3/8" O.D. Comp Straight Stop Valve

This straight stop valve connects a 1/2 inch sweat inlet to a 3/8 inch compression outlet. It is intended for plumbing installations where water flow must be shut off at the fixture supply line. The brass body provides corrosion resistance and suits residential or light commercial pipework.

Easy handle removal and leak-free design

The handle removes easily for maintenance or replacement without disturbing the valve body. Installation requires sweating the inlet joint and tightening the compression nut on the outlet; overheating the sweat joint can damage internal seals. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred to prevent leaks at the compression connection.

Sweat and compression interface limits

The sweat connection demands clean copper pipe and proper flux for a watertight joint; poor preparation leads to seepage. The 3/8 inch compression fitting suits standard supply tubes but will not seal on oversized or undersized tubing. This valve is not designed for high-pressure mains service beyond typical household supply pressures.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the straight stop valve is operating correctly after installation?

Open and close the handle to verify smooth quarter-turn action, then check the sweat and compression connections for any water seepage while the supply is pressurised.

What components are included with the valve and what must be purchased separately?

The valve body and removable handle are supplied; sweat-solder fittings, 3/8 inch compression nuts, ferrules and pipe dope or solder are not included.

Which version of the CC43255K should I select for a half-inch copper supply line with a three-eighths inch outlet?

The single listed model CC43255K matches a 1/2 inch sweat inlet and 3/8 inch O.D. compression outlet, so no alternative version is required.
