This coupling measures 1\/2 inch by 3\/4 inch and uses the expansion-style connection method, which requires a PEX expansion tool and compatible expansion rings to complete the joint. Once expanded and seated, the fitting contracts back to its original size around the pipe, forming a mechanical bond that tightens over time. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in potable water distribution, radiant heating, and water service line applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is approved for water service lines and burial applications, including installations encased in concrete. It is intended strictly for use with PEX-A pipe — it is not compatible with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe types. Typical install scenarios include new construction rough-in, service line repairs, and underground distribution runs where a reliable, long-term joint is required without soldering or crimping tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePEX-A expansion-style connection — joint strength increases over time as fitting contracts around pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for water service lines and burial in concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-pack format supports multi-connection jobs without reordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch x 3\/4 inch sizing accommodates transition connections between pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo soldering, crimping, or clamp rings required — expansion tool and rings only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only — not suitable for PEX-B or PEX-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only.

Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Follow local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for pipe burial depth, bedding material, and potable water fittings. Verify that all pipe in the system is PEX-A before using these couplings, as this fitting will not seal correctly on PEX-B or PEX-C pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size (Inlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size (Outlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-A plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-A only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water service lines, burial including concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE\/CASH ACME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UA058A5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560190542130,"sku":"UA058A5","price":73.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4ab5e6e494f5746792c974f9b3b1bda2.jpg?v=1786448744","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-ua058a5-pex-a-expansion-coupling-1-2x3-4-in-5-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
