SharkBite 1/2 x 3/4 in 45° Hose Bibb — Brass Push-to-Connect, Multi-Turn Shut-Off, 2.4" Flange

The SharkBite 1/2 x 3/4 Inch MHT 45 Degree Hose Bibb is a brass, push-to-connect multi-turn shut-off valve that gives quick, tool-free control of water flow for tight-space plumbing jobs.

This 45-degree angled hose bibb from SharkBite combines a 1/2-inch push-to-connect inlet with a 3/4-inch garden hose outlet to reduce hose kinking and simplify installation. Made from durable brass and featuring a patented one-piece 2.4-inch mounting flange, the valve works with PEX, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, and copper pipe types. It installs in wet or dry lines without soldering, crimping, glue, or special tools and can be removed using a disconnect clip or disconnect tongs.

How does the 45-degree angle help in real installations?

The 45-degree orientation redirects the hose outlet away from walls and obstructions so hoses are less likely to kink and fittings sit comfortably even in tight locations. This angle makes the bibb especially useful where a straight outlet would collide with surfaces or reduce access to the valve handle.

• Prevents hose kinking by angling the hose connection away from the mounting surface
• Makes access easier in confined basements, crawlspaces, and utility closets
• Compact flange design suits retrofit and new-construction mounting

What pipe materials and sizes are compatible with this SharkBite valve?

The product is engineered to accept 1/2-inch push-to-connect inlets and mates to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose male thread. SharkBite’s push-to-connect mechanism is compatible with common plumbing materials, so you won’t need adapters for most residential piping.

• Works with PEX, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, and copper pipe
• 1/2" inlet fits standard 1/2" plumbing runs; 3/4" MHT outlet fits garden hoses
• No soldering, crimping, or glue required—tool-free installation

How easy is installation and removal for a homeowner or pro?

Installation is push-to-connect: simply insert the pipe into the inlet until it seats. The multi-turn handle allows fine control of flow, and the valve can be installed on live lines. Removal uses a disconnect clip or tongs to release the pipe without cutting fittings.

• Push-to-connect inlet seats in seconds—no special tools needed
• Can be installed on wet lines, reducing downtime during repairs
• Remove with a disconnect clip or tongs for reuse or replacement
