Sharkbite/cash Acme K120A Evopex Male Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME K120A is a push-to-connect male connector designed for water supply piping systems. It features a 1/2 inch push inlet and a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet, making it a fast-connect transition fitting that eliminates the need for soldering, clamps, or crimp tools on the push side. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 160 psi and a maximum temperature of 200 degrees F, this fitting is lead free and compatible with PEX pipe. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and experienced water supply contractors.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial water supply applications where a tool-free transition from PEX tubing to a threaded male connection is required. Typical installations include connecting PEX runs to valves, fixtures, or equipment with female threaded inlets. The fitting arrives bagged and is sold in a package quantity of 6, making it practical for multi-fixture rough-in work or service calls requiring several connections.
