This 1\/4-inch (3\/8-inch OD) fitting features a redesigned stainless-steel retainer for added strength and durability, and carries a 250 psi pressure rating. The re-engineered body reduces insertion effort and eliminates the need for a PEX tube liner. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools are required. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers use this fitting for efficient, code-compliant connections across a wide range of pipe types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe U004LFA is suited for residential and light commercial water distribution applications where quick, reliable connections are needed. It connects PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe without transition fittings or primers.
