Rwc UC412LFA Sharkbite Pex Barb Reducing Brass Tee

Product Description

The RWC UC412LFA is a reducing PEX barb tee fitting manufactured by SharkBite for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This brass fitting connects 3/4-inch PEX lines on the run with a 1/2-inch barb outlet on the branch, allowing controlled pipe-size reduction at a single junction point. It is compatible with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the tool set on hand. Approved for potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications, the UC412LFA meets ASTM F1807, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF 372 standards. Plumbers and pipefitters handle routine installation.

This fitting is suited for residential potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems where a branch line steps down from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch PEX. Typical scenarios include splitting a main distribution line to feed a fixture supply line or a baseboard radiator branch. The fitting works with standard PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C tubing when used with the appropriate clamp or crimp ring tooling. Sold individually as a single unit.
