SharkBite UIP26 PVC Slip Coupling, IPS

The SharkBite UIP26 is a PVC slip coupling built for rough-in and repair work on PVC pressure and drain lines, available in trade sizes ranging from 3/4-in to 1-in IPS. This fitting is designed to join two lengths of IPS PVC pipe in a straight run, giving plumbers and contractors a fast, reliable way to extend or repair a line without cutting and re-threading. Constructed of PVC, the UIP26 slip coupling is sized for standard Iron Pipe Size (IPS) PVC pipe and is packaged 3 pieces to a unit for stocking trucks and job-site kits, whether you need the 3/4-in or 1-in option for your run.

  • Slip Coupling Design: Straight slip-style connection allows the fitting to join two sections of same-size IPS PVC pipe in-line.
  • Job-Ready Packaging: Supplied 3 pieces per package, convenient for stocking multiple repairs or a multi-fitting rough-in job.
  • Consistent Fit: Each size option is manufactured to IPS standards so the selected coupling seats properly on matching-diameter PVC pipe.

SharkBite UIP3016 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the SharkBite UIP26 PVC slip coupling come in?
Two trade sizes: 3/4 inch IPS (MPN UIP3016) and 1 inch IPS (MPN UIP3020). Both join two lengths of same-size IPS PVC pipe in a straight run, so pick the coupling that matches the pipe diameter you are repairing or extending. There is no reducing version, so a 3/4 to 1 inch transition needs a different fitting.
2) Will a slip coupling work on a pipe already in the ground that I cannot pull apart?
That is exactly the case a slip coupling is made for. The UIP26 has no stop shoulder, so it slides fully onto one pipe end and then back over the mating end, letting you close a cut in a fixed run without springing the pipe or re-threading anything. The connection type is slip on both ends, in 3/4 inch and 1 inch IPS.
3) Is the SharkBite UIP26 a push-to-connect fitting like SharkBite's brass couplings?
No. Despite the SharkBite name, the UIP26 is a molded PVC fitting with slip ends, not a push-fit coupling with O-ring and grab ring. It installs as a solvent-weld style PVC slip joint onto IPS PVC pipe. If you want a push-to-connect repair coupling for copper, PEX or CPVC, this is not that part.
4) Can I use the UIP26 coupling on CPVC or copper pipe?
No. It is a PVC fitting sized to Iron Pipe Size PVC pipe, so it is intended for PVC pressure and drain lines only. CPVC, copper, PEX or galvanized runs need a fitting made for that material and joining method.
5) I am roughing in a new PVC line and need to extend it past a stock length. Is a slip coupling the right fitting?
Yes for a straight in-line extension of same-size IPS PVC. The UIP26 joins two pipe sections end to end, which is what you want when you are lengthening a run or splicing in a repair section. If you need to change direction, reduce size, or branch, you need an elbow, bushing or tee instead - this fitting only makes a straight join.
6) How many couplings come in a package of the SharkBite UIP26?
Each unit is packaged 3 pieces, in whichever trade size you order. That pack size suits truck stock or a rough-in job with several joins rather than a single one-off repair.
7) Does the UIP26 PVC coupling hold up in buried or damp conditions?
The coupling is molded PVC, which is corrosion resistant and does not rust or scale the way a metal coupling does, and it is light to handle on a ladder or in a trench. It is intended for typical PVC piping systems on residential and commercial jobs, both new construction and renovation.
