SharkBite U3008LF Push-Fit Slip Coupling, Copper/CPVC/PEX

The SharkBite U3008LF push-fit slip coupling is built for fast, tool-free repairs and rough-in connections behind the wall. It joins copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX pipe in any combination without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue — simply insert the pipe and the stainless steel teeth grip tight while an O-ring compresses to form the seal. This slip coupling family is available in 1/2", 3/4" x 3/4", and 1" sizes, so the fitting can be matched to the exact pipe diameter on the job. As a slip-style coupling, it slides over the pipe ends before final positioning, making it ideal for repairing a cut section of pipe or completing an in-line connection where movement is required for proper alignment. Every size in this family is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), making it a dependable choice for professional plumbers and contractors working on copper, CPVC, or PEX rough-in systems.

Key Features

  • Size Range: Available in 1/2", 3/4" x 3/4", and 1" sizes for copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX pipe.
  • Push-Fit Connection: Instant push-fit design speeds up installation with no soldering, clamps, unions, or glue required.
  • Multi-Material Compatibility: Connects copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX pipe in any combination on a single job.
  • Pressure and Temperature Rating: Certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) across the entire size range for reliable rough-in performance.
  • Reusable Design: Fittings can be disconnected with a simple disconnect tool and reused, and can be rotated after assembly for easier installation in tight spaces.
  • Slip-Style Body: Slides over pipe ends before final positioning, ideal for repairing a cut section of pipe.
  • Packaging: Sold 3 each per pack for stocking service trucks or completing multiple repairs.

SharkBite U3008LF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a SharkBite slip coupling join copper to PEX or CPVC without an adapter?
Yes. The U3008LF push-fit slip coupling accepts copper tubing, CTS CPVC, and PEX in any combination, so one side can be copper and the other PEX or CPVC with no adapter, solder, glue, or clamps. The pipe pushes in, stainless steel teeth grip it, and an O-ring makes the seal.
2) What is the difference between a slip coupling and a regular push-fit coupling?
A regular coupling has internal tube stops, so both pipe ends butt against them and the fitting cannot slide. The U3008LF is slip-style: there is no stop, so it slides along the pipe. That is what lets you repair a cut section in a fixed run, where you cannot spring the pipe apart to get a stopped coupling on. For new rough-in where you want a positive insertion depth, a standard stop coupling is the better pick.
3) Is a SharkBite slip coupling rated for hot water lines?
Yes. Every size in the U3008LF slip coupling family is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), which covers domestic hot water distribution. It is not a steam or boiler-side fitting.
4) Will a 3/4 inch slip coupling work on a repair where I cannot move the pipe at all?
That is exactly the case the U3016LF 3/4 x 3/4 inch slip coupling handles. Because it slides over both pipe ends with no internal stop, you can cut out the damaged section, slide the coupling onto one end, then center it across the gap without springing or disconnecting the run. Mark your insertion depth on each side so you know both ends are fully engaged.
5) What sizes does the SharkBite U3008LF slip coupling come in and what are the part numbers?
Three sizes: 1/2 inch is U3008LF, 3/4 x 3/4 inch is U3016LF, and 1 inch is U3020LF. All are sized to copper tube size (CTS), which is also what CPVC and PEX are sized to for these fittings.
6) Can these push-fit couplings be used behind a wall or do they need to stay accessible?
SharkBite's U3008LF slip couplings are built for repairs and rough-in connections behind the wall, per the manufacturer's own description. They can also be rotated after assembly, which helps when you are working in a stud bay or tight ceiling space. Always check your local jurisdiction's rules on concealed mechanical joints before you close up the wall.
7) Can I take a SharkBite slip coupling back off and reuse it?
Yes. The fitting releases with a SharkBite disconnect tool (clip or tongs) and can be reused. The disconnect tool is not part of the coupling pack, so order one separately if you do not already carry one.
8) How many couplings come in a pack?
These slip couplings are sold 3 each per pack, which suits truck stock or knocking out several repairs on one call rather than buying a single fitting.
9) Do I need to deburr or prep the pipe before pushing on a SharkBite slip coupling?
No solder, flux, glue, clamps, or unions are needed for this coupling, which is the whole point of the push-fit design. You still want a square, clean cut with no burrs or score marks in the sealing area so the O-ring seats, and the pipe must be fully inserted. For PEX, the stiffener is already built into SharkBite push-fit fittings.
