The fitting uses SharkBite push-fit technology on both run ends, with a female NPT threaded branch outlet. The slip tee design allows the fitting to slide onto an existing pipe run and connect without cutting out a section of pipe. Installation does not require soldering, clamps, or crimping tools. Rated to 200 degrees F and 200 psi, this fitting suits potable water supply lines in residential and light commercial plumbing. Licensed plumbers and qualified trades install this fitting during service or new construction work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U3486LFA is commonly used to add an expansion tank connection on a water heater supply line. The FNPT branch allows direct threaded connection of an expansion tank without additional adapters. The included Disconnect Clip allows the fitting to be repositioned on the pipe after installation, which is useful in confined spaces such as utility closets and mechanical rooms. The rotational capability on the pipe makes it easier to align the threaded branch to the tank inlet without disturbing the run connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-fit connections on both run ends for tool-free installation without soldering or crimping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale NPT threaded branch for direct expansion tank or accessory connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlip design with included Disconnect Clip allows repositioning on pipe without additional pipe cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRotates on pipe after installation for easier alignment in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 degrees F and 200 psi for potable water supply service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertified to ASSE 1061, CSA B125.3, NSF 372, and NSF\/ANSI 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-fit replacement fitting for 3\/4-inch copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe in residential and light commercial potable water systems.
