The Watts 2‑Series ½″ Duo‑Cloz Manual Washing Machine Shutoff Valve (model 2‑M2) is a high‑quality brass-bodied valve designed to quickly shut off both hot and cold water supplies to a washing machine using a single lever. Equipped with durable PTFE‑seated brass ball valves and ½″ copper dual ell adapters for solder or compression connections, it provides ¾″ hose outlets for standard machine hoses. The valve also features a throttling design that minimizes water hammer caused by fast‑closing solenoid valves, while handling a maximum pressure of 150 psi (10.3 bar) and temperatures up to 180 °F.
