Sharkbite/cash Acme UC952A Pex Cinch Clamp 3/8 in 10 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME UC952A is a 10-pack of 3/8-inch PEX cinch clamps designed for use with brass barb insert fittings in PEX plumbing systems. These stainless steel cinch clamps create a secure, leak-resistant connection when applied with a cinch tool (True Value 608-743 required, sold separately). Once installed, the connection is ready for immediate pressure testing well over 100 psi. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial PEX installations rely on cinch clamps for fast, consistent results compared to crimp-ring methods.

These 3/8-inch cinch clamps are suited for residential water supply lines, hydronic heating circuits, and other PEX tubing applications where brass barb insert fittings are used. The 10-count pack is practical for service calls or new construction rough-ins where multiple connections need to be made efficiently. A dedicated cinch tool is required to close the clamp ear and should be sized appropriately for the 3/8-inch clamp profile.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch size fits standard PEX tubing and brass barb insert fittings
• 10-pack quantity supports multi-connection jobs or stocking the service van
• Ready for immediate pressure testing well over 100 psi after installation
• Compatible cinch tool: True Value 608-743 (sold separately)
• Cinch-style design allows faster installation compared to traditional crimp rings

Compatibility

Designed for use on brass barb insert fittings with 3/8-inch PEX tubing. Installation requires the True Value cinch tool 608-743 or a compatible cinch tool sized for 3/8-inch clamps.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any PEX connection work. Use the specified cinch tool to close the clamp ear fully over the fitting — an incomplete closure will result in a failed pressure test. Inspect each connection visually before restoring pressure.
