Sharkbite/cash Acme K088A Evopex Female Connector 3/4 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME K088A is a 3/4-inch push-to-connect by 3/4-inch female NPT (FNPT) Evopex female connector designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This fitting eliminates the need for soldering, glue, or specialty installation tools, allowing a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional to complete connections quickly and reliably. The K088A is lead free, meeting modern potable water compliance standards. It connects tubing directly to a male-threaded fitting or outlet, making it a practical choice for repair and replacement work where speed and code compliance both matter.

The K088A is suited for plumbing applications where a tube needs to terminate at a male-threaded port — such as fixture supply lines, water heater connections, or branch-line transitions. The push-to-connect end accepts compatible tubing for a secure, no-solder fit. Packaged in a bag with a package quantity of 6 per unit, it is appropriate for both single-repair and multi-unit service calls. Installation does not require open flame, making it a practical option in tight spaces or low-clearance areas where soldering poses a safety concern.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the marked depth before the fitting seats. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified by the manufacturer for the fitting and tubing combination in use.
