Rwc U3016LFA Sharkbite 3/4 in Brass Slip Repair Coupling

Product Description

The RWC U3016LFA is a 3/4-inch push-to-connect brass slip repair coupling designed for fast, tool-free pipe repair in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Built from one-piece DZR brass, it handles up to 200 degrees F and 200 psi, making it suitable for demanding domestic water applications. Unlike a standard coupling, only one end has a stop, allowing the opposite end to slide freely over the pipe. This design lets a single fitting do the work of two couplings and a section of extra pipe, cutting repair time significantly. A disconnect clip is included for tool-assisted removal.

This slip coupling is used for repairing burst pipes, pinhole leaks, and damaged sections in copper piping systems. The push-to-connect mechanism allows plumbers and pipefitters to complete repairs without soldering, threading, or crimping. The fitting is approved for use behind drywall and in buried applications, making it a practical choice for both accessible and concealed installations in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The coupling is sold individually and arrives pre-bagged for jobsite convenience.
