SharkBite U072LF FNPT Push-Fit Connector, Lead-Free

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.
