The fitting accepts standard PEX barb connections and is sold individually. It measures 1\/2 inch by 1\/2 inch by 3\/4 inch across its three ports, allowing a 3\/4-inch run or branch to transition down to 1\/2-inch lines. Weighing 0.109 pounds, this fitting is suited for both potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications. It meets ASTM F1807, NSF\/ANSI 61, and NSF 372 certification requirements, confirming it is safe for drinking water contact and lead-free compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating installations where PEX tubing is the pipe material of choice. It is well suited for branch-off scenarios in domestic hot and cold water distribution systems, radiant floor heating loops, and baseboard heating circuits. The UC408LFA works with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the tooling on hand. Clamp rings and crimp rings are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-port reducing configuration: 1\/2 inch by 1\/2 inch by 3\/4 inch for in-line size reduction at a branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for durability in wet, pressurized plumbing and hydronic environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with both stainless steel clamp ring and copper crimp ring installation methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF\/ANSI 61 listed for potable water distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF 372 certified lead-free compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM F1807 barb fitting dimensional and performance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with PEX tubing in potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems.

Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Use a dedicated PEX clamp or crimp tool calibrated for the ring type being used to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow local plumbing code requirements, which commonly reference IPC or UPC standards for PEX barb fitting installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 1\/2 inch x 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.109 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM F1807, NSF\/ANSI 61, NSF 372\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water distribution, hydronic heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UC408LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343161721138,"sku":"UC408LFA","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551281.jpg?v=1782018612","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-uc408lfa-sharkbite-pex-barb-reducing-brass-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
