The Watts WPWMCC-1 is a washing machine shutoff valve with a PEX Crimp inlet and a Hose Thread (GHT) outlet.

Designed to fit standard washing machine connections, the valve features swivel CrimpRing WaterPEX connections. It includes a white plastic wall enclosure that protects all connections. It comes with a knockout for safety drain line.

Common Questions

What tubing does this connect to?

The WPWMCC-1 uses PEX crimp connections — it is a true PEX valve, not a push-to-connect fitting, so it needs PEX tubing and a crimp tool. It is not interchangeable with copper or CPVC without an adapter.

Is this a quarter-turn or a multi-turn stop?

Quarter-turn. The handle moves 90° from full open to full closed against a ball, so there is no stem packing to seize or weep — the usual failure of an old multi-turn stop that has not been operated in years.

What outlet does this have?

A 3/4 in male garden-hose thread (MGHT) outlet — it takes a standard garden hose or washing machine hose directly, with no adapter.

Does this shut the water off automatically if a hose bursts?

No — this is a manual valve. You get hot and cold shutoff from one handle, but someone has to turn it, and most washer hoses fail while nobody is home. For leak-triggered shutoff that works unattended, use the Watts A2C IntelliFlow, which senses the machine's current and closes both inlets on its own when its floor sensor sees water.
