SharkBite U072LF FNPT Push-Fit Connector, Lead-Free

The SharkBite U072LF Series FNPT push-fit connector is built for fast, code-focused rough-in work, joining copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe in any combination without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. Available in sizes from 1/2" through 1", this lead-free fitting transitions push-fit tubing to a female threaded connection, making it a go-to choice for tying into valves, fixtures, and other threaded components behind the wall or under the floor. Every size in the family is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), giving plumbers a dependable rating for typical potable-water rough-in applications. Insert the pipe and the internal stainless steel teeth grip the tubing while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form the seal - no torch, no primer, no glue required.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available from 1/2" through 1" FNPT connections for straightforward transitions to threaded valves and fixtures.
  • Push-Fit Connection: Instant push-fit design speeds installation - no soldering, clamps, unions, or glue required.
  • Universal Pipe Compatibility: Fits copper tubing, and CTS CPVC and PEX, and connects all three pipe types in any combination.
  • Pressure and Temperature Rating: Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) for demanding rough-in conditions.

  • Reusable Design: Disassemble quickly with the simple SharkBite disconnect tool - fittings and valves can be removed and reused.
  • Rotatable After Assembly: Fittings can be rotated once installed, easing installation in tight framing bays or cramped mechanical spaces.

SharkBite U072LF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the SharkBite U072LF push-fit connector join copper to PEX or CPVC without soldering?
Yes. The U072LF female threaded push-fit connector accepts copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX in any combination, so a copper-to-PEX or CPVC-to-PEX transition needs no torch, glue, primer, clamps, or unions. Push the pipe in and the internal stainless steel teeth grip it while the O-ring compresses to seal.
2) What sizes does the SharkBite U072LF FNPT connector come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two sizes are offered: 1/2 inch, which is part number U072LF, and 1 inch, part number U094LF. Both are female NPT on the threaded end and push-fit on the pipe end.
3) Will this push-fit connector hold up on a hot water line?
The U072LF FNPT connector is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), which covers normal domestic hot and cold supply. That rating applies across the full 1/2 inch to 1 inch size range. It is not a steam fitting.
4) Can I thread a shutoff valve or fixture supply straight into this fitting?
Yes, that is what it is for. The threaded end is female NPT, so a male-threaded valve, nipple, or fixture connection screws directly in while the other end push-fits onto copper, CPVC, or PEX. It is a common way to tie push-fit tubing into threaded valves behind the wall or under the floor.
5) Can a SharkBite U072LF fitting be removed and reused if I get the line wrong?
Yes. These come apart with the SharkBite disconnect tool, and the fitting or valve can be reused afterward. The fitting also rotates after assembly, which helps when you are lining up a threaded valve inside a tight framing bay. The disconnect tool is a separate item, not included with the fitting.
6) Should I use a push-fit FNPT connector or a soldered copper female adapter for a valve tie-in?
A push-fit FNPT connector like the U072LF makes sense where you cannot run a torch, where the line is wet, or where you are joining dissimilar materials, since it takes copper, CPVC, and PEX in any combination with no solder or glue. A soldered female adapter is still the choice when the joint has to be permanent and non-removable, or where the design pressure or temperature exceeds the 200 PSI, 200 degrees F rating this fitting carries.
7) Does the 1 inch version of this SharkBite connector have the same pressure rating as the 1/2 inch?
Same rating on both. Every size from 1/2 inch (U072LF) through 1 inch (U094LF) is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F, so you can mix sizes on the same system without derating the run.
8) How are these SharkBite FNPT connectors packaged for a supply house order?
Packaging is 12 each, so the U072LF ships as a multi-pack quantity rather than a single loose fitting. That suits crews stocking a van or a rough-in for multiple openings.
