SharkBite UXL Push-to-Connect Male Adapter, DZR Brass

SharkBite UXL Push-to-Connect Male Adapter, DZR Brass

The SharkBite UXL large-diameter push-to-connect male adapter joins CTS PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe to a matching MNPT threaded connection with no soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools. This family is available in Push-to-Connect x MNPT sizes ranging from 1-1/4" through 2", so plumbers can choose the size that matches the rough-in line. Stainless steel gripping teeth bite down on the pipe while a chlorine-resistant O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal, and the low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body is rated to 200 degrees F and 200 PSI. Simply insert the pipe to make the connection, and rotate the fitting after installation to adjust alignment before final pressure testing.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available in 1-1/4" to 2" Push-to-Connect x matching MNPT configurations for direct threaded transitions on rough-in lines.
• Durable Construction: Low-lead DZR (dezincification-resistant) corrosion-resistant brass body for long service life on hot and cold-water lines.
• Push-to-Connect Installation: Simply insert PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe — no soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools required.
• Rotatable & Removable: Fitting can be rotated after installation for alignment and removed with a large-diameter disconnect tool (UXLDC35, UXLDC41, UXLDC54) for reuse.
• Wet or Dry Line Installation: Can be installed on wet or dry lines and pressure tested immediately, with no waiting on soldered joints to cool or solvents to dry.
• PEX Stiffener Required: When connecting to PEX pipe, a stiffener (SBTL35, SBTL41, or SBTL54) is required for a secure connection.
• Pressure & Temperature Rating: Rated to 200 degrees F and 200 PSI across the size range.
• Chlorine-Resistant Seal: Specially formulated O-ring compresses against the pipe for a long-lasting watertight seal.
