PEX Shut Off Valve

[AmeriSpecguy]

Gentleman,

This is a shut off valve that I've not see before. It is installed on a newer PEX installation after all the copper was stolen from the property.

The letters TLC are imprinted on it. I can't find any information on this at all. It was pretty difficult to turn. My main concern is that this isn't the correct valve for this system.

Anyone recognize this?

My training in PEX shows that only a few manufacturers allow compression fittings. Those that allow it are very specific about which brand of compression fittings are compatible with their product - they're specifically for PEX.

I used to have a chart of fittings compatibility for all the PEX brands.

Thanks Bill!
