SharkBite UIP PVC IPS x MNPT Transition Connector

SharkBite UIP PVC IPS x MNPT Transition Connector

The SharkBite UIP PVC Connector is an IPS (iron pipe size) x MNPT (male national pipe thread) transition fitting built for plumbers and contractors who need a reliable rough-in connection between PVC piping and male-threaded plumbing components. This connector is available in 1/2-In, 3/4-In, and 1-In trade sizes, giving contractors a consistent way to transition PVC pipe runs to threaded fittings, valves, or fixtures without soldering or specialty tooling. Constructed from PVC, each connector pairs an IPS inlet with a matching MNPT outlet so the size selected always provides equal IPS and MNPT dimensions on either end of the fitting. As a behind-the-wall or under-slab component, this connector is designed to be installed within the plumbing system rather than exposed as a finished fixture, so contractors can rely on it for consistent thread engagement at each connection point across a rough-in job or service call.
