Rwc UC514LFA Sharkbite 1/2 in Barb Brass Pex Test Plug

Product Description

The RWC UC514LFA is a 1/2 inch barb brass PEX test plug designed to cap off an open PEX tubing line during pressure testing or system commissioning. This fitting works with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, making it a versatile single-item solution for plumbers and pipefitters who need a reliable, low-profile end cap. The brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet environments. It meets ASTM F1807, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF 372 certifications, confirming its suitability for potable water contact.

The UC514LFA is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving PEX tubing. It is used in potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating installations where a line must be temporarily or permanently capped. The barb connection style allows the fitting to seat into standard 1/2 inch PEX tubing before a crimp ring or clamp ring is applied. Plumbers typically use this plug during rough-in and testing phases to isolate sections of the system before fixtures are connected.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on PEX-based water systems. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before working on any open tubing end. Insert the barb fully into the PEX tubing and secure with the appropriate crimp ring or clamp ring tool per the ring manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code. Verify the connection is pressure-tested before returning the system to service.
