Sharkbite/cash Acme U711A Disconnect Tong 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME U711A is a 1/2-inch disconnect tong designed specifically for removing or repositioning SharkBite push-to-connect fittings without damaging the fitting or the pipe. The tool engages the release collar on the fitting and depresses it evenly, allowing the pipe to slide free cleanly. Plumbers and pipefitters use this tool during service calls and system modifications where SharkBite fittings need to be backed out quickly and without improvised methods that risk cracking the fitting body or scratching copper or PEX tubing.

This disconnect tong is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 1/2-inch push-to-connect fittings are installed on copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe. It is the standard-service tool used alongside SharkBite fittings during new rough-in, remodel work, or repair scenarios where a fitting must be removed and reused or replaced. Each package contains 12 units, making it practical for supply stocking at a shop or service fleet.
