Quarter-turn ceramic shut-off valve

The Kingston Brass CD43301DX is a quarter-turn ceramic cartridge valve designed to stop water flow at the source. It suits plumbers and maintenance crews who need a reliable shut-off point in industrial or commercial piping systems. The anti-siphon design helps prevent backflow contamination. This new component is built for leak-free performance in demanding environments.

Corrosion-resistant finish with easy handle removal

The valve body uses corrosion-resistant finishes to withstand harsh water conditions and extend service life. A removable handle allows quick access to the ceramic cartridge for maintenance or replacement without removing the valve from the line. Quarter-turn operation reduces the torque needed to achieve a positive shut-off compared to multi-turn alternatives. Normal use produces no unusual noise or vibration.

1/2 inch IPS inlet by 3/8 inch O.D. outlet

The connection sizing is the critical specification: a 1/2 inch IPS male inlet and a 3/8 inch O.D. compression outlet. Installers must verify that both the supply pipe and the fixture riser match these exact dimensions before purchase. Mismatched threads or tubing diameters will prevent a seal and require adapters not included with this valve. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/2" IPS inlet and 3/8" O.D. outlet connections on this quarter-turn valve?

Thread the 1/2" IPS side into the supply pipe using pipe tape or sealant, then compression-fit the 3/8" O.D. side to the fixture supply line; the step often missed is fully seating the compression ferrule before tightening the nut.

Which part will need replacement first on the CD43301DX valve?

The ceramic cartridge is the wear item; if dripping appears at the spout or the handle becomes stiff, replace the cartridge rather than the whole valve body.

What limit appears first when this shut-off valve is cycled repeatedly?

The ceramic disc faces can develop micro-scratches from debris in the water, causing a slow seep that signals cartridge replacement before the brass body or finish degrades.
