The fitting accepts a 1\/2-inch pipe on the push-fit end and transitions to a 1\/2-inch FNPT threaded connection on the other. Internal stainless steel teeth grip the pipe on insertion, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal. No soldering, crimping, clamps, or glue required. The connector is reusable and can be rotated after assembly, which is useful when working in confined spaces. Licensed plumbers and qualified trades install this fitting during new construction, remodel, and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a push-fit pipe end meets a threaded female port. Typical applications include connecting copper, CPVC, or PEX supply lines to threaded valves, fixtures, or transition fittings. The push-fit end accepts all three pipe types in any combination, making it a practical choice for mixed-material repairs or system extensions. A disconnect tool allows fast removal and reuse of the fitting without damage to the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-fit design connects copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe without soldering, glue, or clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel teeth grip pipe on insertion for a secure mechanical hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecially formulated O-ring creates a watertight seal under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free construction meets potable water requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting can be rotated after assembly for easier positioning in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable — removable with a standard SharkBite disconnect tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-fit replacement connector compatible with 1\/2-inch copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe on the push-fit end, with a 1\/2-inch FNPT threaded port for connection to standard threaded fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified trades. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Cut pipe ends square and deburr thoroughly before insertion — a clean, square cut is required for the stainless steel teeth and O-ring to seat correctly. Use a SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tool for removal; do not attempt to pry or force the fitting off the pipe by other means.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePush-Fit End Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFNPT Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, CPVC, PEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless steel teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: u072lf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138934604082,"sku":"U072LF","price":29.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305527478.jpg?v=1778266059","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-u072lf-1-2-in-push-fit-fnpt-connector-lead-free","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
