1/2" Washing Machine Shutoff Valve, Single Lever Reviews

5 Rating 15 Reviews
Used this in an older home to make copper supplies lines for a washer and dryer... combination of the new copper and this rather simple and elegant shut off valve made for an attractive solution... Very happy with the product. Had no issues sweating the valve to the copper pipes.

Used the front half of this valve to replace an older Watts valve... Fantastic that Watts did not arbitrarily change the width... applied some silicone grease to the new O-rings prior to installation.

Just moved into a house and had to turn the water for the washer/dryer off and on again. This caused the very old shut off valve to start leaking around the lever. Swapping in this new part was easy... added a little silicone grease to the new washers as they seem to come dry. Works great and no leaking now.

I replaced an identical brand valve that dripped after 30+ years... Didn't have to solder new elbows in – just unscrewed front, pried off, cleaned up mating surfaces... Saved myself soldering fuss and cured leaks.

Used this to fix a leaky one that was over 20 years old.. Just used half of this..since the old one is soldered already onto pipes.. Easy fix.. just unscrew the 2 bolts... attach the half you need to old one!! Works great!!

Great product that replaced a similar Oatey valve that the installer had over-tightened, crushed the washers, and required a pry-bar to remove. This is a great replacement you can get quickly through plumbing supply vs. big box stores.

I installed a Watt M2 Duo-Cloz about 40 years ago... one need only unscrew to remove the old and replace it with the new... This unit - while not the M2 Duo-Cloz - nevertheless fits the same base and is $20 less expensive. Highly recommended!

From start to finish, literally 5 minutes. Simplest plumbing work I've ever done.
