Rwc U416LFA Sharkbite Max Push-to-connect Tee 1x1x3/4 in

Product Description

The RWC U416LFA is a SharkBite Max push-to-connect tee fitting sized 1 inch by 1 inch by 3/4 inch, designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The fitting uses a stainless-steel retainer mechanism that reduces insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings while delivering a 250 psi burst pressure rating. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or specialty tools are required. The redesigned body eliminates the need for a PEX tube liner during installation. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters install this fitting in both new construction and repair applications.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing where a reducing branch connection is needed. The 1 inch by 1 inch run with a 3/4 inch branch outlet accommodates common trunk-and-branch distribution layouts. The fitting can be rotated after installation to ease alignment in tight spaces. Removal is accomplished with a standard SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tool, making fittings and valves reusable when conditions allow. Typical applications include water distribution, manifold branch takeoffs, and repair connections requiring a quick turnaround.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalents. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or removing any connection. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs or debris before insertion. Use only an approved SharkBite disconnect tool or clip for removal — do not attempt to pull the fitting free without releasing the retainer.
