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.

- Pressure and Temperature Rating: Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).

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.
