Common Questions
- What tubing does this connect to?
- The WPWMV-2 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.
