The Apollo ExpansionPEX 3/4 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 3/4 in. Male Pipe Thread Ball Valve is the perfect valve for making an uncommon transition from the existing 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.

Larger internal diameter of Apollo ExpansionPEX fittings results in a 25% greater flow rate within the system
