SharkBite U006LF Push-to-Connect Coupling, 3/8" (1/2" OD) Lead-Free
The SharkBite U006LF is a 3/8" (1/2" OD) x 3/8" (1/2" OD) push-to-connect coupling built for rough-in plumbers who need a fast, reliable way to join copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. This lead-free brass fitting is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F, making it a dependable choice for pressurized water lines behind the wall or under the floor. Simply insert the pipe into the fitting and the internal stainless steel teeth grip the tubing while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal - no torch, no flux, no cure time.
