Rwc UR072A 1/2 in Brass Push-to-connect Female Adapter

Product Description

The RWC UR072A is a 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch female NPT straight adapter in the SharkBite push-to-connect fitting line. It joins a push-to-connect end to a female iron pipe thread (FNPT) connection without solder, glue, unions, or specialty tools. The fitting is machined from single-piece DZR brass and is rated for service up to 200 degrees F and 200 psi. Lead content on wetted surfaces does not exceed 0.25% weighted average, meeting current lead-free requirements. The fitting is removable using a standard disconnect clip and is fully reusable after removal. Licensed plumbers and qualified trades install this fitting on new construction and repair work alike.

This adapter is suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is compatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe on the push-to-connect end. The FNPT end connects directly to threaded valves, drop-ear elbows, fixtures, and similar threaded components. The fitting can be installed in concealed locations including behind drywall and in direct-burial applications, making it well suited for rough-in work where access after installation is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified trades in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and cleaned before insertion into the push-to-connect end to ensure a proper seal. Use only the manufacturer-specified disconnect clip tool when removing the fitting to avoid damaging the internal collet or O-ring.
