Product Description

The RWC UC006LFA is a lead-free DZR brass PEX barb coupling designed to join PEX tubing in potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems. The fitting connects 3/8 inch barb to 3/8 inch barb and is built to handle the demands of residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Constructed from dezincification-resistant brass, it meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 standards for lead-free compliance. Its straightforward barb design keeps installation time and material costs low, making it a practical choice for plumbers working with PEX systems. The UC006LFA is sold individually and weighs 0.325 pounds.

This coupling is suited for use in PEX-based potable water supply lines and hydronic heating applications. It works with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the tools and methods already on the job. Clamp rings and crimp rings are each sold separately. The fitting is appropriate for residential new construction, remodel work, and repair scenarios where PEX tubing is the piping material of choice.
