Rwc U512LFA Sharkbite Push-to-connect Brass End Cap

Product Description

The RWC U512LFA is a push-to-connect brass end cap designed to terminate a water supply line without soldering, crimping, or threading. The fitting accepts 3/8-inch pipe size with a 1/2-inch outer diameter and is constructed from one-piece DZR brass for corrosion resistance. It is rated at 200 degrees F and 200 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and journeyman pipefitters install this fitting by hand, with no special tooling required beyond a pipe cutter and deburring tool for proper end preparation.

This end cap is suited for terminating copper, PEX, and CPVC lines in residential and light commercial potable water systems. Common applications include capping off unused branch lines, service relocations, and rough-in work where a line must be sealed temporarily or permanently. The fitting can be buried in soil and installed behind drywall without access panels, which makes it practical for concealed plumbing installations. The push-fit design allows the fitting to be removed and reused with the proper disconnect tool.
