SharkBite U711 DZR Brass Disconnect Tongs, Push-Fit Removal Tool

SharkBite U711 DZR Brass Disconnect Tongs, Push-Fit Removal Tool

The SharkBite U711 Disconnect Tongs are a purpose-built removal tool for use with SharkBite push-fit fittings on copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing, available in 1/2 In. and 3/4 In. sizes to match the fitting being serviced. When a rough-in connection needs to be redone, these tongs let a plumber release the pipe from the fitting cleanly, without cutting the fitting off the line or damaging the tube end. Constructed from a compact, robust DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass body, the tool is built to hold up to repeated use in the field and is fully reusable across multiple disconnect-and-reconnect cycles on the jobsite.

Key Features

• Trade Size: Available in 1/2 In. and 3/4 In. sizes for SharkBite push-fit fittings.
• Durable Construction: Compact, robust DZR brass body resists dezincification and stands up to repeated jobsite use.
• Easy Removal Tool: Purpose-built disconnect tongs allow the user to release the pipe from the fitting if a mistake is made during installation.
• Reusable Design: Not a one-time-use tool - the tongs can be used again and again on future disconnect jobs.
• Works With Push-Fit Fittings: Designed for SharkBite push-fit fittings, which join copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination without glue, soldering, or crimping.
• Simple Operation: Slips over the tubing at the fitting collar so the plumber can press and hold the collar back while pulling the pipe free.
