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

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.
