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.

The barbed insert end grips the PEX tubing securely when fastened with copper crimp rings or stainless steel clamps, while the 1/2 inch female pipe thread end accepts standard threaded connections. The lead-free brass construction is certified for use in potable water and hydronic heating system applications, meeting high standards for both commercial and residential plumbing.
