Product Description

The SHARKBITE CASH ACME U3016LFA is a 3/4-inch x 3/4-inch lead-free slip coupling designed for push-fit installation without tools, solder, or clamps. Constructed from DZR brass, this fitting handles potable and hydronic water distribution systems rated to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F. It ships as a bagged pack of 6 and is sized for copper tube size (CTS) and CPVC pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling for both above-ground and underground applications, including manufactured joints that require no access panels.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where fast, reliable connections are needed on copper or CPVC lines. The push-fit design allows techs to make watertight joints quickly during new construction, renovation, or repair work. Certified for potable water and hydronic distribution, the U3016LFA is appropriate for domestic hot and cold water, radiant heating supply lines, and similar applications. Underground certification means no access panel is required when used as a manufactured joint.
