SharkBite UR12 3/4" Max Brass Push Check Valve Assembly

SharkBite UR12 3/4\" Max Brass Push Check Valve Assembly

The SharkBite UR12 3/4\" Max Brass Push Check Valve Assembly is a spring-loaded check valve engineered to prevent reverse flow of water in rough-in plumbing systems. This Max Series check valve is offered across the UR2008 and UR2016 model variants, giving contractors a choice of configuration while sharing the same core performance platform: a high-performance DZR lead-free brass body and a stainless steel retainer. The 3/4\" push-to-connect valve installs horizontally or vertically and works with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE SDR-9 pipe in any combination. Rated to 200°F and 250 psi across the family, it's designed for plumbers and contractors who need a fast, tool-free connection behind the wall or under the floor.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 3/4\" connection compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE SDR-9 pipe in any combination.
• Durable Construction: High-performance DZR lead-free brass body paired with a stainless steel retainer for added strength and durability.
• Push-to-Connect Design: No special tools, crimping, soldering, or glue required — simply push the pipe into the fitting to make the connection.
• Reverse Flow Prevention: Spring-loaded check valve mechanism prevents backflow and can be installed on wet lines with immediate pressure testing.
• Rotatable After Installation: Can be rotated after assembly, making it ideal for working in tight spaces where alignment is critical.
• Reduced Insertion Effort: Insertion effort is reduced by half compared to first-generation SharkBite push-to-connect products, with double the burst pressure.
• Pressure & Temperature Rating: Rated to 200°F and 250 psi for demanding rough-in applications across both UR2008 and UR2016 models.
• Serviceable: Can be easily removed using a disconnect clip, disconnect tongs, or a pro disconnect tool.
