Sharkbite Sharkbite Uip4008a Transition Coupling, 1/2 In. Copper Tube X 1/2 In. Pvc, Brass
Videos
The SharkBite UIP4008A is a brass transition coupling that connects PVC pipe to copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT tubing without requiring solder, clamps, unions, or glue. This push-to-connect fitting solves the challenge of joining different pipe materials in plumbing repairs and installations, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools or techniques.
The fitting features a white collar for PVC pipe connections and a tan collar for copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT applications. Simply insert the pipe into the appropriate collar, and stainless steel gripping teeth bite down to secure the connection while an O-ring compresses to create a watertight seal. This design allows for quick installation and easy adjustments or removal using a disconnect tool, making it ideal for DIY plumbing work and professional installations alike.
