Sharkbite Sharkbite Ur008a Lead-free Brass Push-to-connect Straight Coupling, 1/2 X 1/2 In.

The SharkBite straight coupling is the easiest way to join two 1/2 in. pipes without soldering, clamps, unions or glue. Simply insert copper, PEX, CPVC, PE-RT or SDR9 HDPE pipe into the fitting until it seats; stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe while a specially formulated O-ring creates a watertight seal. This no-solder solution works for new construction or retrofit projects on both wet and dry repairs.

Versatile and reliable, this push-to-connect coupling is designed for potable water distribution and radiant heating (hydronic) applications. It installs in seconds and can be disassembled just as quickly if needed, making it ideal for homeowners and professionals alike. The fitting is rated for use underground and behind walls with no access panels required, giving you the flexibility to install it anywhere code permits.
