Sharkbite U139LFA Brass Male Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U139LFA is a push-to-connect brass male adapter designed for fast, tool-free connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This fitting accepts pipe on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a male threaded connection on the opposite end, allowing quick integration with threaded fittings, valves, or fixtures. Constructed from brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications. The push-to-connect mechanism eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or clamps, making it a practical choice for plumbers and pipefitters working in tight spaces or on repair calls.

This adapter is suited for residential water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and light commercial plumbing installations where a reliable push-to-connect-to-threaded transition is needed. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in new construction, renovation, and emergency repair scenarios where minimizing downtime is a priority. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the pressure or temperature ratings specified for this fitting type.
