SharkBite U358LF Push-to-Connect PEX Tee, Multi-Material Compatible

SharkBite U3 Series Push-to-Connect PEX Tee

The SharkBite U3 Series Push-to-Connect Tee, available as the U358LF and U360LF, joins same-size pipe runs on rough-in and repair jobs without soldering, gluing, crimping, or specialized tools. This tee family is compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT and HDPE pipe in any combination, letting a plumber transition between pipe materials at a single fitting. Both models in the family are rated for 200 psi and 200°F (93°C) and are backed by a 25-year warranty, making them a dependable choice for behind-the-wall and underground applications where callbacks are costly.
