Rwc U058LFA Push-to-connect Brass Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The RWC U058LFA is a 1/2-inch by 3/4-inch push-to-connect reducing coupling manufactured from one-piece DZR brass. It is designed for fast, tool-free connections in potable water supply systems and is rated for service up to 200 degrees F and 200 psi. The single-piece DZR brass construction resists dezincification, making it suitable for buried installations and concealed locations behind drywall. This fitting ships individually bagged and is sold as a single unit. Licensed plumbers and journeymen are the primary installers, though the push-to-connect design also suits knowledgeable DIYers working within local code allowances.

The U058LFA is a reducing coupling intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 1/2-inch line transitions to a 3/4-inch line. It is compatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC tubing, covering the most common pipe types found in new construction and remodel work. Because fittings in this series are removable and reusable, they are well suited for service calls, repairs, and situations where a connection may need to be revised after initial installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing pipe. Ensure pipe ends are cleanly cut and deburred, and confirm tube insertion depth before locking the fitting. Verify that local codes permit push-to-connect fittings in concealed or buried applications before proceeding.
