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.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 1/2-In, 3/4-In, and 1-In IPS x MNPT configurations for standard rough-in transitions between PVC pipe and threaded connections.
  • Material Construction: PVC body for use in typical PVC pipe systems.
  • Connection Type: IPS inlet to MNPT (male national pipe thread) outlet, enabling a threaded connection to valves, fixtures, or other male-threaded plumbing components.
  • Rough-In Application: Designed for installation behind walls, under floors, or within concealed plumbing runs as part of a larger supply or drain system.
  • Consistent Sizing: Each trade size option pairs a matching IPS and MNPT dimension so contractors can standardize connections across a job site.
  • Tool-Free Transition: Eliminates the need for soldering or specialty tooling when moving from PVC pipe to threaded plumbing components.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Size Options: 1/2-In IPS x 1/2-In MNPT, 3/4-In IPS x 3/4-In MNPT, 1-In IPS x 1-In MNPT

SharkBite UIP120 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the SharkBite UIP PVC transition connector come in?
Three trade sizes: 1/2 inch (UIP120), 3/4 inch (UIP134), and 1 inch (UIP140). Each one pairs a matching IPS inlet with the same size MNPT outlet, so a 3/4 inch fitting is 3/4 IPS x 3/4 MNPT. There is no reducing version, so if you need to step size, do it with a separate bushing or coupling.
2) Will the SharkBite UIP connector thread into a female threaded valve?
Yes. The outlet is MNPT, male national pipe thread, so it screws into any FNPT port of the same size, including threaded valves, fixture stubs, and female adapters. The other end is IPS for the PVC pipe side.
3) Can I use this PVC transition connector behind a wall or under a slab?
That is what it is built for. The UIP connector is a rough-in component meant to be installed inside the plumbing run, behind walls, under floors, or in concealed piping, rather than left exposed as a finished trim fitting.
4) Do I need special tools or solder to install the SharkBite UIP PVC connector?
No soldering and no specialty tooling. The transition is made mechanically, PVC pipe on the IPS side and a threaded joint on the MNPT side, so a torch and fittings prep for copper are not part of the job.
5) What is the SharkBite UIP connector made of, and can I use it in a copper line?
The body is PVC, so it belongs in PVC pipe systems. For a copper or PEX run you want a brass transition fitting instead; this one is intended for PVC pipe joined to a threaded component.
6) I am stocking a service truck. Which size UIP connector should I carry?
The 1/2 and 3/4 inch sizes cover most residential branch and fixture work, with 1 inch for larger supply runs. All three are the same IPS x MNPT configuration, so carrying UIP120, UIP134, and UIP140 covers standard rough-in transitions without mixing connection styles.
