{"product_id":"rwc-u020lfa-sharkbite-max-1-in-brass-coupling","title":"Rwc U020LFA Sharkbite Max 1 in Brass Coupling","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RWC U020LFA is a 1-inch push-to-connect straight brass coupling from the SharkBite Max product line. It creates a leak-free joint without soldering, clamps, glue, or special tools. The redesigned stainless-steel retainer delivers a 250 psi pressure rating and is engineered to accept pipe insertion with reduced effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings. The body does not require a PEX tube liner. Once installed, the fitting can rotate freely for quick positional adjustments. Removal is accomplished with a standard SharkBite disconnect tool, making the fitting reusable. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though the tool-free design also suits knowledgeable service technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe U020LFA is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where fast, reliable pipe joining is required. It connects PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe in a single straight-run configuration. Typical applications include water supply lines, fixture supply branches, and repair connections where torch work is restricted or impractical. Sold individually, it is a direct push-to-connect solution for 1-inch pipe diameter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250 psi pressure rating for residential and commercial water supply applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless-steel retainer provides increased strength and durability over first-generation design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced insertion effort compared to original SharkBite push-to-connect fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo PEX tube liner required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting rotates after installation for positional adjustments; removable and reusable with a disconnect tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1-inch PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connection. Cut pipe ends square, deburr, and clean before insertion to ensure a full, leak-free seat.
