Rwc UR008A4 Sharkbite Max 1/2 in Brass Coupling 4-pack

Product Description

The RWC UR008A4 is a SharkBite Max push-to-connect straight brass coupling sold in a 4-pack, designed for fast, tool-free pipe joining in residential and commercial plumbing systems. This fitting features a redesigned stainless-steel retainer that delivers a 250 psi pressure rating while requiring roughly half the insertion effort compared to first-generation SharkBite fittings. The 1/2-inch coupling connects PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe without soldering, clamps, glue, or specialty tools. No PEX tube liner is required. Licensed plumbers and journeymen plumbers install these fittings for repairs, retrofits, and new rough-in work where speed and reliability are both critical.

This coupling is suited for 1/2-inch pipe connections in residential water distribution systems and light commercial plumbing applications. It works across multiple pipe materials, making it a practical choice for mixed-material repairs or transitions. The fitting body can be rotated after installation to clear obstructions or align branch runs. When a change or correction is needed, a SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tool removes the fitting quickly, allowing the fitting to be reused or a valve to be swapped in without cutting additional pipe.
