Sharkbite u4016lf Polybutylene Transition Coupling 3/4 Inches Push-fit Brass

Product Description

The SharkBite U4016LF is a 3/4 inch push-fit brass transition coupling designed to convert Polybutylene water lines to modern pipe types without any soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. This fitting is a go-to solution for plumbers and contractors dealing with older Polybutylene plumbing systems that need to be tied into Copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe. Polybutylene pipe was widely installed in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, and transitioning away from it is a common repair and remodel task. The U4016LF makes that transition straightforward and reliable. The fitting features color-coordinated collars on each end so installers can quickly identify the correct orientation. The gray collar connects to Polybutylene pipe, while the tan collar is intended for Copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT. This color-coding reduces installation errors and speeds up the job on tight deadlines. The push-fit connection style means the fitting simply pushes onto the pipe end and locks in place with an internal stainless steel grab ring and an EPDM O-ring seal. No special tools are required for most installations. The U4016LF is rated for 200 psi working pressure and up to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold and hot water supply lines in residential and light commercial applications. The brass body provides durability and long service life in potable water systems. The natural brass and polished chrome finish gives the fitting a clean appearance where visible. This coupling meets lead-free requirements, as indicated by the LF designation in the part number, making it compliant for use in potable water applications under current plumbing codes. SharkBite push-fit fittings are trusted by professional plumbers for fast, code-compliant connections in repair, retrofit, and new installation work.
