Uc072lfa Pipe Adapter, Lead Free, 1/2 In. Brass Barb X 1/2 In. Fpt

The SharkBite UC072LFA is a lead-free brass pipe adapter designed to connect 1/2 inch PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or PE-RT tubing to 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread (MNPT) connections. This adapter provides a transition between flexible PEX tubing and rigid threaded pipe fittings for plumbing installations.
