SharkBite U116LF 1/2" x 3/4" MNPT Push-Fit Male Adapter, Lead-Free

The SharkBite U116LF is a 1/2" x 3/4" MNPT push-fit male adapter built for plumbers and contractors who need a fast, code-friendly transition from push-fit tubing to male iron pipe thread without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. This lead-free fitting accepts copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing in the CTS size range and lets a plumber connect any combination of those three pipe materials on the same run. Simply insert the pipe into the SharkBite end and internal stainless steel teeth grip the tubing while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form the seal - no torch, no flux, and no curing time required behind the wall.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" push-fit connection x 3/4" MNPT thread for stepping up from tubing to male iron pipe thread on rough-in runs.
  • Push-Fit Connection: Instant push-to-connect design speeds installation with no soldering, clamps, unions, or glue required.
  • Multi-Material Compatibility: Fits copper tubing along with CTS CPVC and PEX, and connects all three pipe types in any combination on a single fitting.
  • Lead-Free Construction: Manufactured to lead-free specification for use in potable water applications.
  • Pressure and Temperature Rating: Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
  • Removable and Reusable: Disassembles quickly with the SharkBite disconnect tool, and the fitting can be rotated after assembly for easier alignment in tight spaces, then reused elsewhere on the job.

Why SharkBite?

SharkBite's push-fit system relies on stainless steel teeth and a purpose-formulated O-ring to deliver a dependable, reusable seal without a torch, clamps, or glue, and every fitting is lead-free and certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F for demanding rough-in work. The ability to join copper, CPVC, and PEX with one fitting - and to disconnect and rotate it after assembly - gives plumbers and contractors a faster, more flexible way to complete supply line transitions on the job site.

SharkBite U116LF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a SharkBite U116LF push-fit male adapter connect PEX to a threaded valve without soldering?
That is exactly what it does. The U116LF has a 1/2 inch push-fit end and a 3/4 inch MNPT thread, so you push the tubing in and thread the other end into a female iron pipe fitting, valve, or fixture. No torch, flux, clamps, unions, or glue. Internal stainless steel teeth grip the tube and an O-ring makes the seal, so there is no cure time behind the wall.
2) Does the SharkBite U116LF work on copper and CPVC, or only PEX?
All three. The push-fit end accepts copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX, and it will join any combination of those materials on the same run. That is what makes it useful on repair work where you are tying new PEX into existing copper.
3) What pressure and temperature can a SharkBite push-fit male adapter handle?
Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), which covers domestic hot and cold water supply. It is a potable water fitting, built to lead-free specification.
4) What size SharkBite male adapters are offered besides the 1/2 inch?
Two sizes: the 1/2 inch U116LF and the 3/4 inch U134LF. Pick by the tubing size going into the push end.
5) Can a SharkBite push-fit fitting be removed and reused?
Yes. It comes apart with the SharkBite disconnect tool and can be reused elsewhere on the job. You can also rotate the fitting after it is assembled, which helps when you are lining up a threaded connection in a tight bay. The disconnect tool is a separate item.
6) When should I use a push-fit male adapter instead of a sweat or crimp fitting?
Use the push-fit when you cannot run a torch (occupied units, finished walls, sprinklered spaces), when the line will not fully drain for soldering, or when you are joining mixed materials. Sweat or crimp still make sense on long new-construction copper or PEX runs where you already have the tools out and want the lowest cost per joint. The U116LF's advantage is speed and the single-fitting transition from copper, CPVC, or PEX to 3/4 inch male iron pipe thread.
7) How many SharkBite U116LF adapters come in a pack?
Packaged 6 each, which suits a property maintenance or rough-in crew stocking a truck rather than buying singles.
