Rwc UIP3016A Sharkbite 3/4 in Pvc Slip Repair Coupling

Product Description

The RWC UIP3016A is a SharkBite push-to-connect PVC slip repair coupling designed for 3/4-inch PVC pipe in Schedule 40, 80, and 120 configurations. The slip design allows up to 2 inches of damaged pipe to be removed and replaced without cutting out a full section or adding unions. Installation requires no soldering, primer, glue, or specialty tools. The fitting slides onto the pipe using the included PVC Depth Gauge and Disconnect Clip, then slips back onto the second pipe end to complete the connection. Once installed, the coupling can be rotated on the pipe, which simplifies work in confined spaces.

This coupling is rated for potable water distribution and is certified for underground installations and behind-the-wall applications where access panels are not present. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing repairs on cold and hot water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and journeymen plumbers working under IPC, UPC, or cUPC jurisdictions will find this fitting code-compliant for a wide range of repair scenarios. The corrosion-resistant construction supports long service life in both buried and concealed installations.
