Rwc U360LFA Sharkbite Max Brass Push-to-connect Tee

Product Description

The RWC U360LFA is a SharkBite Max brass push-to-connect tee fitting designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features a stainless-steel retainer and a re-engineered body that reduces insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings. The fitting carries a 250 psi pressure rating, making it suitable for demanding water supply applications. Port sizing is 3/8 inch on all three outlets, compatible with pipe having a 1/2 inch OD. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though the tool-free design makes it accessible to qualified DIYers.

This tee is used in water distribution systems where PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe must be joined quickly without soldering or crimping. Typical install scenarios include new construction rough-in, remodel work behind walls, and repair situations where torch access is limited or impractical. The fitting can be rotated after insertion for alignment adjustments. Removal is accomplished with a SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tool, allowing the fitting to be reused or repositioned without damage to the pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line.
