Inline Shut-Off Ball Valve | 1/4" | Push-Fit

A 1/4" inline ball valve with push-fit quick-connect ends - the simple manual flow control for RO and water filter installations. Sits anywhere in the tube run, turns flow on and off with a quarter-turn of the handle, releases tubes cleanly when servicing.

What an Inline Ball Valve Gives You

Ball valves are the gold standard for water flow control - better than gate valves (which leak when half-open) or globe valves (which restrict flow even fully open):

• Full bore when open - no flow restriction
• Positive shut-off when closed - leak-free isolation
• Quarter-turn operation - fast and obvious open/closed indication
• Long service life - the simple internal geometry has no moving parts to wear

In an RO context, inline ball valves serve as:

• Membrane isolation - close to bypass the RO membrane for service
• Pre-filter isolation - close to swap cartridges without affecting downstream system
• Flow control test points - close to confirm flow is actually originating where you expect
• Service shut-off - close to remove and replace any downstream component

Push-Fit Quick Connect

Both ends are 1/4" push-fit:

1. Cut tube square
2. Push tube fully into each end
3. Pull gently to confirm lock

Reusable - release the collet to disconnect. No tools, no thread sealing.

Versus the Tank Ball Valve

Both this inline ball valve and the tank ball valve are 1/4" push-fit ball valves. The difference:

• Inline (this product): push-fit on both ends, sits within a tube run
• Tank: push-fit on one end + threaded on the other end, screws into a tank fitting

Choose based on where you're installing - inline within a tube run, or onto a threaded tank port.
