It uses a push-to-connect SharkBite-style fitting on both ends, allowing a licensed plumber or experienced pipefitter to complete the connection without soldering, clamps, or union fittings. The valve accepts 1\/2-inch pipe on both the inlet and outlet sides. Its spring-loaded internal mechanism closes automatically when flow reverses, protecting upstream equipment and supply lines from backflow contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis check valve is suited for potable water supply lines in residential and commercial plumbing applications. The push-to-connect ends are compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and SDR-9 HDPE pipe, making it a versatile option across new construction and retrofit work. Its compact body fits in tight chases, utility closets, and wall cavities where swing-check or inline threaded valves would be difficult to service. It can be installed in any orientation, horizontal or vertical, without affecting function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded mechanism provides automatic backflow prevention without a separate actuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect SharkBite-style ends on both inlet and outlet for tool-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and SDR-9 HDPE pipe types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls horizontally or vertically with no change in performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free construction meets requirements for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suits tight spaces and confined rough-in areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation check valve for 1\/2-inch PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and SDR-9 HDPE potable water supply lines using push-to-connect fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing pipe. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and free of debris before inserting into the push-to-connect fitting to achieve a proper seal. Verify local plumbing code compliance, including IPC and applicable backflow prevention requirements, before finalizing the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch SharkBite push-to-connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch SharkBite push-to-connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring-loaded check valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, SDR-9 HDPE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal or vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: u2008-0000lf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467368857906,"sku":"U2008-0000LF","price":28.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313948360.jpg?v=1783902347","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-u2008-0000lf-1-2-inch-sharkbite-check-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
