SharkBite U008LF Push-Fit Coupling, Lead-Free Multi-Material

The SharkBite U008LF is a push-fit coupling built for rough-in plumbers who need a fast, reliable way to join pipe without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. This lead-free fitting is available in 1/2 In and 1 In trade sizes and connects copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX in any combination, making it a versatile choice for repairs, retrofits, and new installations where mixing pipe materials is common. Simply insert the pipe and the internal stainless steel teeth grip the pipe wall while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal. Across both trade sizes the fitting shares the same 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) rating, giving plumbers confidence in demanding rough-in applications behind walls, under floors, and in mechanical rooms.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 1/2 In and 1 In sizes to cover common copper, CPVC, and PEX rough-in runs.
  • Push-Fit Connection: No soldering, clamps, unions, or glue required, cutting install time on rough-in and repair jobs.
  • Multi-Material Compatibility: Fits copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX, and connects all three types in any combination on the same run.
  • Pressure & Temperature Rated: Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) for confident use in potable water and hydronic rough-in systems.
  • Reusable Design: Disassembles quickly with a simple disconnect tool, so the coupling can be removed, repositioned, and reused without cutting it off the pipe.
  • Rotatable After Assembly: Can be rotated once installed, making it easier to align pipe runs in tight wall cavities and mechanical chases.
  • Lead-Free Construction: Manufactured to lead-free standards for potable water applications.
  • Contractor Packaging: Supplied 12 each per pack for stocking service trucks and rough-in crews.

SharkBite U008LF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a SharkBite U008LF coupling join copper to PEX, or copper to CPVC?
Yes. The U008LF push-fit coupling connects copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX in any combination, so one fitting handles a copper-to-PEX or copper-to-CPVC transition without an adapter. That is what makes it useful on retrofit work where the existing run is copper and the new run is PEX.
2) Is the SharkBite U008LF coupling approved for potable water?
It is built to lead-free standards for potable water use, and rated 200 PSI at 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), which also covers hydronic rough-in work.
3) Can a SharkBite push-fit coupling be removed and reused, or is it a one-time connection?
It comes apart with a SharkBite disconnect tool and can be repositioned and reused without cutting it off the pipe. It also rotates after assembly, which is how you line up a run in a tight wall cavity instead of fighting the pipe. The disconnect tool is a separate item, not supplied with the coupling.
4) Do I need a crimp tool, torch, or solvent cement to install a SharkBite U008LF coupling?
No. It is a push-fit connection: cut the pipe, deburr it, and push it in. Internal stainless steel teeth bite the pipe wall and an O-ring compresses to seal. No soldering, clamps, unions, or glue, which is why it gets used for emergency repairs where torch work is not an option.
5) What sizes does the SharkBite lead-free push-fit coupling come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two trade sizes: 1/2 inch, ordered as U008LF, and 1 inch, ordered as U020LF. Both carry the same 200 PSI and 200 degrees F rating, so stepping up in size does not change the service limits.
6) Will a SharkBite push-fit coupling work on a hot water line?
Yes, within the stated limits. The coupling is rated to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) at 200 PSI, which covers domestic hot water and hydronic heating runs. Above those figures it is out of spec.
7) Can I use a SharkBite U008LF coupling behind a wall or under a floor?
The U008LF is built for rough-in work, including concealed locations behind walls, under floors, and in mechanical rooms. Local code still governs whether a concealed mechanical joint is permitted on your job, so check your inspector's position before closing up the wall.
8) How many SharkBite U008LF couplings come in a pack?
They ship 12 each per pack, which is how most service trucks and rough-in crews stock them rather than buying singles.
