Rwc U711A Sharkbite 1/2 in Disconnect Tong

Product Description

The RWC U711A is a disconnect tong designed specifically for removing SharkBite push-fit fittings from copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe. The tool works by retracting the fitting collar, releasing the internal teeth that grip the pipe, so the fitting slides free without damage to the pipe or fitting body. It is sized for 1/2 inch push-fit connections. Plumbers and pipefitters use this tool during service calls, repipes, and fixture changeouts where push-fit fittings need to be repositioned or replaced quickly.

This disconnect tong is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications wherever 1/2 inch SharkBite push-fit fittings are installed. It is a standard tool for service plumbers who work regularly with push-fit systems and need to remove fittings without cutting pipe back or destroying the fitting. The tool fits in a standard tool pouch and requires no special setup.
