Rwc UIP140A Sharkbite 1 in Pvc X Mnpt Connector

Product Description

The RWC UIP140A is a push-fit transition connector designed to join a push-to-connect fitting to a male NPT threaded adapter on PVC pipe. The fitting features a white collar compatible with Schedule 40, 80, and 120 PVC pipe as well as Schedule 40 and 80 CPVC. The SharkBite push-to-connect design eliminates the need for soldering, glue, unions, or specialized tools, making installation fast and straightforward. Once seated on the pipe, the fitting can be rotated freely, which is a practical advantage when working in confined or tight spaces. A disconnect clip is included, allowing the fitting to be removed from the pipe when needed.

This connector is intended for potable water distribution systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications. Its corrosion-resistant construction supports long service life in both above-ground and in-wall installations. The fitting is certified for underground and behind-the-wall use without requiring access panels, making it well suited for new construction rough-in work and retrofit plumbing repairs where access is limited. Licensed plumbers and experienced trade professionals are the primary installers for this type of fitting.
