SharkBite U363LF Push-to-Connect Tee, 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/8", Lead-Free
The SharkBite U363LF is a 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/8" push-to-connect tee built for rough-in plumbers who need a fast, reliable branch connection without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. This lead-free fitting accepts copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing in any combination, so a tech can transition between pipe materials mid-run without switching tools or fittings. Simply cut the pipe square, deburr it, mark the insertion depth, and push it into the fitting - the internal stainless steel teeth grip the pipe while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around it to form a watertight seal. The connection is certified to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both hot and cold potable water lines behind the wall or under the floor.
