Product Description
SharkBite 3/8 Inch (1/2 Inch OD) x 1/2 Inch MNPT Reducing Adapter, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U118LFA
- BRASS PUSH MALE ADAPTER: This 3/8 in. (1/2 in. OD) x 1/2 in. male reducing adapter connects CTS pipe to FNPT thread for fast, secure transitions in water line systems; ideal for tight space and wet line installations
- COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and SDR-9 HDPE pipes; works in any combination of pipe types
- EASY TO INSTALL: No glue, soldering, or special tools needed; install and remove easily using a disconnect clip or disconnect tongs (sold separately)
- DURABLE: Made from strong and durable DZR brass for long-term use; large diameter fittings (1-1/4 to 2 in.) require a stiffener when used with PEX
- RATED PERFORMANCE: Designed to withstand 200 degrees F and 200 PSI; approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panels (wrapping required if buried)
Shark Bite push-fit fittings are the fastest, easiest way to join copper, CPVC and PEX in any combination-wet or dry-with no soldering, clamps, unions or glue. Just insert the pipe and the stainless steel teeth bite down and grip tight, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a perfect seal. Disassembly is just as fast using the simple disconnect tool. So fittings and valves can be easily changed and reused. They can even be rotated after assembly for easier installation in tight spaces. Fittings certified to 200 PSI and 200-DegreeF (93-DegreeC). Design certified to ANSI/NSF-61 and ASSE 1061 product standard for use in potable water and hydronic heating water distribution. Approved to be used underground and behind walls without access panels
