This fitting uses the expansion method: the PEX-A pipe is expanded with a compatible expansion tool, an expansion ring is placed over the pipe end, and the fitting is inserted. As the pipe returns to its original diameter, it forms a tight, leak-resistant joint that continues to strengthen over time. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UA362A5 is rated for water service lines and is approved for burial applications, including installations encased in concrete. This makes it suitable for underground supply runs, slab penetrations, and below-grade distribution work where reliable long-term performance is critical. Because it is compatible with PEX-A pipe only, installers must confirm pipe type before specifying this fitting. It is not compatible with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch PEX-A expansion tee configuration for branching water lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-pack quantity reduces per-fitting cost on multi-connection jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for water service lines and burial including concrete encasement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpansion joint grows stronger over time as pipe memory re-engages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only — not suitable for PEX-B or PEX-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires PEX expansion tool and appropriately sized expansion rings for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only.

A licensed plumber should shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Follow local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for pipe sizing, burial depth, and approved materials for potable water applications. Do not use this fitting with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe, as the expansion method is specific to PEX-A material properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Type Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-A only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Poly (Polymer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 fittings per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water service lines, burial, concrete encasement\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: UA362A5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557658034482,"sku":"UA362A5","price":76.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/76aa36e6daa24d8b5b96ebcec0bf629e.jpg?v=1786392183","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-ua362a5-1-2-inch-pex-a-expansion-tee-5-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
