Built with a brass body and a redesigned stainless-steel retainer, the UR008A delivers a 250 psi pressure rating and requires no soldering, clamps, glue, or special tools. The updated body geometry reduces insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings and eliminates the need for a PEX tube liner. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting wherever a straight coupling is needed on compatible pipe types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UR008A is suited for use in water supply lines, repair work, and retrofit installations where torch work is impractical or not permitted. It connects PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe in a single fitting size. The 1\/2 inch connection size covers the most common residential supply line diameter. After installation, the fitting can be rotated for alignment adjustments. When removal is needed, a standard SharkBite disconnect tool releases the fitting quickly, allowing it to be repositioned or reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi pressure rating for reliable performance in standard water supply applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRedesigned stainless-steel retainer provides added grip strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite push-to-connect fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo PEX tube liner required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFitting rotates after installation and can be removed and reused with a disconnect tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe.

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion into the fitting. No soldering, crimping tools, or thread sealant are required; follow local plumbing code and manufacturer guidelines for approved applications and pressure ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Push-to-Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetainer Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.109 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00697285035249\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UR008A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347312771378,"sku":"UR008A","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551296.jpg?v=1782101193","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-ur008a-1-2-in-push-to-connect-brass-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
