Rwc U518LFA Sharkbite 3/4 in Push-to-connect Brass End Cap

Product Description

The RWC U518LFA is a 3/4-inch push-to-connect brass end cap from the SharkBite line, designed to terminate open pipe ends without soldering, crimping, or threading. Built from one-piece DZR brass, it withstands working pressures up to 200 psi and temperatures up to 200 degrees F. The internal grab ring and O-ring seal create a secure, leak-free connection in seconds. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a fast, code-compliant termination is needed.

This end cap is suitable for use on copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe in potable water supply systems. Its push-to-connect design makes it practical in tight spaces or retrofit situations where torch work is not possible or permitted. The fitting can be buried in soil or installed behind drywall without additional protective measures, making it a reliable option for concealed or inaccessible locations. It arrives individually bagged and is sold per each.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installation.

Removal requires a SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tongs — do not attempt to pull the fitting free without the proper tool.
