Rwc UC530LFA Sharkbite 3/4 in Barb X 3/4 in Fpt Pex Adapter

Product Description

The RWC UC530LFA is a brass PEX swivel adapter designed to connect 3/4-inch PEX tubing to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread fitting. The barb end slides into PEX tubing and is secured with either a stainless steel clamp ring or a copper crimp ring, each sold separately. The swivel design on the FPT end makes alignment easier during installation, reducing stress on the tubing. Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water contact and NSF 372 for lead-free compliance, this adapter is built for residential and light commercial plumbing work done by licensed plumbers and qualified installers.

This adapter is suited for potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications. It works with standard 3/4-inch PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C tubing in both new construction and retrofit installations. The compatibility with both clamp and crimp ring systems gives installers flexibility when working with different tool sets on the job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work.
