Sharkbite U416LFA Push Fit Reducing Tee 1x1x3/4 Lead Free

Product Description

The SharkBite U416LFA is a lead-free push-fit reducing tee designed for fast, tool-free connections in potable and hydronic water distribution systems. Constructed from DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, this fitting measures 1 inch x 1 inch x 3/4 inch and handles pressures up to 200 psi at temperatures up to 200 degrees F. An integral tube liner is included, which supports the pipe end inside the fitting to maintain a secure, leak-tight joint. Sold in a package of 3 units, this fitting is a practical choice for plumbers working on residential and light commercial water supply lines where quick, reliable connections are required.

The U416LFA push-fit reducing tee is compatible with copper tubing (CTS), CPVC, and PEX pipe, making it a versatile option across a wide range of plumbing configurations. It is suited for residential and commercial water distribution applications, including branch take-offs where a 1-inch main line steps down to a 3/4-inch branch. The fitting is also certified for underground applications as a manufactured joint, eliminating the need for access panels in certain buried installations. Licensed plumbers rely on this fitting for both new construction and retrofit work.
