It features a redesigned stainless-steel retainer that delivers a 250 psi pressure rating along with improved strength and durability over first-generation SharkBite fittings. The tee connects 1\/4 inch ports with a 3\/8 inch OD pipe configuration and works with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings in both residential and light commercial applications where speed and reliability are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for water supply lines in residential and commercial plumbing systems where multiple pipe types may be joined at a single point. The push-to-connect design eliminates soldering, clamps, unions, and adhesives, making it a practical choice for tight spaces or retrofit work. The re-engineered body requires less insertion force compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings and does not require a PEX tube liner. Once installed, the fitting rotates freely for quick alignment adjustments and can be removed and reused with a standard SharkBite disconnect tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi pressure rating with stainless-steel retainer for added strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe — no PEX tube liner required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design requires no soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite push-to-connect fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFitting rotates after installation for quick directional adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable and reusable with a standard SharkBite disconnect tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a push-to-connect replacement or new-installation tee for 1\/4 inch nominal pipe with 3\/8 inch OD; compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion into the fitting. Use a manufacturer-approved disconnect clip or tool to remove the fitting — do not attempt to pull the fitting free without the proper tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee (1\/4 in x 1\/4 in x 1\/4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass body, stainless-steel retainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.195 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\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: U358LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346006999346,"sku":"U358LFA","price":22.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551274.jpg?v=1782068732","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-u358lfa-sharkbite-max-brass-push-to-connect-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
