The Cash Acme EB-45 Direct SharkBite Valve (EB45-DSB) is a lead free half-cartridge based pressure reducing and regulating valve with a bronze body. The valve construction is similar to a traditional regulator in that it retains a separate spring chamber and adjusting screw, but offers the simplicity and maintenance benefits of a cartridge based valve. The EB45-DSB is assembled using modular construction methods and features integral SharkBite connections in 1/2 in through 1 in sizes. Connect the SharkBite pressure regulating valve to copper tubing, and CTS CPVC and PEX in seconds with ease. The EB45-DSB is supplied by the factory with a standard delivery Setting of 45 psi. The outlet pressure can be adjusted from 10-70 psi without changing the spring. This valve is intended for use where supply line pressure does not exceed 200 psi, and is suited for either cold or hot (to 180 degF) water service. All models are lead free.
