SharkBite U3486LF 3/4" Female Centre Slip Tee, Push-Fit Push-to-Connect Fitting

SharkBite U3486LF 3/4" Female Centre Slip Tee, Push-Fit Push-to-Connect Fitting

The SharkBite U3486LF is a 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4" Female Centre Slip Tee built for rough-in and repair work on water distribution piping. This push-fit fitting connects copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX tubing in any combination without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue, making it a fast option for plumbers working behind walls or under floors where a mechanical, code-recognized joint is needed. The fitting is certified to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, and it is rated for underground use and as a manufactured joint without access panels — a useful attribute when the connection will be buried or otherwise inaccessible after installation. Each unit is packaged 3 ea, giving contractors enough on-hand stock for a typical service call or small rough-in run without over-ordering.
