Sharkbite U070LFA Brass Female Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U070LFA is a push-to-connect brass female adapter designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This fitting accepts a push-to-connect inlet on one end and a female threaded outlet on the other, allowing technicians to transition between push-fit tubing and standard male-threaded pipe or fittings. Constructed from brass, the adapter delivers solid corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications. Weighing 0.195 pounds, it is a compact, single-unit fitting suited for tight spaces and quick service calls.

This adapter is commonly installed in residential water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and light commercial plumbing where a push-fit connection needs to mate with a female-threaded port. It is well suited for use with copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing, and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or qualified plumbing technicians during new construction, remodel, or repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting or disconnecting any pipe. Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect fitting. Do not overtighten or apply excessive force to the threaded connection, and verify the fitting is fully seated before restoring pressure.
