Sharkbite/cash Acme U134LFA 3/4 in Push Fit Mip Connector

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME U134LFA is a lead-free, push-fit straight connector designed for fast, tool-free connections between push-fit systems and 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) threads. Constructed from dezincification-resistant (DZR) brass, this fitting is rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both potable water and hydronic distribution systems. An integral tube liner is included, supporting use with copper CTS, CPVC, and PEX tubing without requiring a separate insert. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in residential and commercial plumbing applications where a reliable push-fit-to-threaded transition is needed.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial water distribution systems where PEX, copper CTS, or CPVC tubing must terminate at a male iron pipe threaded fitting. Its push-fit design eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or clamp tools at the push-fit end, reducing installation time. The fitting is certified for underground applications as a manufactured joint, and no access panel is required for concealed installations, making it practical for in-wall or below-slab rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC and UPC where adopted.
