Water valve Sourcing C32500QB35 3/4" x 1/2" for cold water, 5R

Sourcing C32500QB35 is a plumbing water valve designed for cold water supply lines. The valve has inlet and outlet connections sized 3/4" and 1/2" respectively, and is intended to join pipes of different diameters while allowing regulation of flow. Marked 5R, this fitting is suitable for installation in domestic and light commercial systems where control of cold water is required.

Advantages

The valve offers a straightforward mechanical solution for connecting dissimilar pipe sizes and provides a reliable shut-off and flow-control function for cold water circuits. Its compact form factor supports installation in confined spaces and simplifies transitions between 3/4" and 1/2" lines without additional adapters. The construction and marking facilitate identification and maintenance during routine plumbing work.

Suitable for

• Connecting a 3/4" supply line to a 1/2" branch in cold water systems
• Domestic plumbing installations such as kitchens and utility rooms
• Light commercial cold water distribution and service lines
• Retrofit and repair work where size reduction and flow control are required

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 3/4" x 1/2" (inlet x outlet)
• Intended medium: cold water only
• Primary function: flow control and shut-off between different pipe diameters
• Installation type: inline fitting for supply lines
• Marking: 5R for product identification

How to use

Install the valve inline between the 3/4" supply pipe and the 1/2" branch, ensuring appropriate sealing methods for the pipe material in use (thread sealant, tape or soldering where applicable). Position the valve so that access to the operating mechanism is unobstructed for routine operation and maintenance. Flush the system after installation to remove debris, then check for leaks and proper flow regulation before returning the line to service.

Usage recommendations

Use this valve in cold water circuits only; avoid exposure to hot water or steam. Ensure compatibility with the piping material and follow applicable local plumbing codes during installation. Periodically inspect the valve for signs of corrosion or leakage and service as required to maintain reliable operation.
