Sharkbite/cash Acme UC606LFA10 Pex Barb Sweat Adapter 10pk

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME UC606LFA10 is a lead-free brass barb insert adapter designed to connect 3/4-inch cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing to 3/4-inch copper pipe ends or female sweat fittings. Sold in a 10-pack, this adapter features a barb end for the PEX side and a female pipe sweat end for the copper side. The wetted surface contains less than 0.25% lead by weight, meeting AB1953 California and Vermont VT S152 low-lead restrictions. The fitting is immediately testable to well over 100 psi after installation, making it a reliable choice for licensed plumbers working on potable water distribution systems.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX tubing transitions to copper pipe or sweat fittings. It is commonly installed during new construction, remodel work, or repair projects that involve mixed-material piping systems. The barb end is secured to PEX tubing using cinch clamps with a cinch tool or copper crimp rings with a crimp tool, both standard methods in PEX installation practice. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water lines in all jurisdictions requiring low-lead compliance.
