Rwc UC953A Sharkbite 1/2 in Pex Cinch Clamp Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RWC UC953A is a 1/2-inch stainless steel PEX cinch clamp ring designed for use in PEX plumbing systems with barb fittings. The ring is installed by positioning it over the PEX tubing and barb fitting, then compressing it with a dedicated PEX clamp tool to create a secure, leak-resistant connection. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to potable water, hydronic, and radiant heating applications. Installation requires a compatible PEX clamp tool, which works with clamp rings up to 1 inch in diameter. This fitting is sold in pack quantity and weighs 0.13 pounds.

The UC953A is used in residential and light commercial PEX plumbing installations where barb-style fittings are specified. It is a common choice for new construction and remodel work involving PEX-A, PEX-B, or PEX-C tubing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install these as part of domestic water distribution, in-floor radiant heat, and hydronic baseboard systems. The cinch clamp style offers a fast installation cycle compared to crimp rings, with consistent pull-off strength when properly set with a calibrated PEX clamp tool.
