Rwc U006LFA Sharkbite Max Straight Brass Coupling

Product Description

The RWC U006LFA is a SharkBite Max push-to-connect straight brass coupling designed for 3/8-inch pipe with a 1/2-inch outside diameter. It joins two sections of pipe without soldering, clamps, glue, or special tools, making it a fast solution for repairs and new installations. The stainless-steel retainer delivers a 250 psi pressure rating and is engineered for reduced insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings. A re-engineered body eliminates the need for a PEX tube liner. Licensed plumbers and experienced tradespeople use this fitting in both rough-in and repair scenarios where speed and reliability are required.

The U006LFA is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe, covering the most common pipe materials found in modern plumbing systems. The fitting can be rotated after installation to ease alignment, and it is removable and reusable with a standard SharkBite disconnect tool, making it practical for tight spaces and retrofit work where access is limited.
