Rwc SB0641 Sharkbite 2XL 1-1/2 in Slip Coupling

Product Description

The RWC SB0641 is a SharkBite 2XL push-to-connect slip coupling sized for 1-1/2-inch pipe. Slip couplings are designed to repair damaged or leaking pipe sections without requiring access to both pipe ends from the outside — the fitting slides fully onto one pipe, is repositioned over the joint, and locks in place using the SharkBite push-fit mechanism. This eliminates the need for soldering, clamps, or unions in most repair scenarios. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters use this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply systems where a standard coupling cannot be installed due to limited pipe movement.

The SB0641 slip coupling is suited for repair applications on 1-1/2-inch water supply lines where cutting out a damaged section is required. The push-to-connect design allows the fitting to be installed on copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe depending on SharkBite 2XL compatibility ratings. Typical installation scenarios include pinhole leak repairs, freeze-damage repairs, and section replacements in tight spaces where torch work is restricted or not permitted.

Key Features

• Slip design allows full insertion onto pipe before repositioning over the repair joint
• Push-to-connect installation — no soldering, threading, or crimping required
• 1-1/2-inch pipe size for larger-diameter water supply and drain-adjacent supply lines
• SharkBite 2XL series for reliable push-fit performance in repair and retrofit work
• Suitable for use in accessible and restricted-access plumbing spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and repair fitting for 1-1/2-inch residential and light commercial water supply piping systems. Refer to SharkBite 2XL compatibility charts for approved pipe materials and pressure ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting out the damaged pipe section. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned before inserting into the fitting. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified by the manufacturer for the pipe material in use.
