Sharkbite UAB094LFA Pex-a Fnpt Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UAB094LFA is a PEX-A Female NPT (FNPT) adapter designed to connect PEX-A tubing to threaded pipe fittings in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This adapter provides a reliable mechanical connection between flexible PEX-A pipe and standard female national pipe thread (FNPT) ports, making it a practical solution for transitions in potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and general plumbing rough-in work. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing contractors install this fitting as part of PEX-A piping systems where a threaded connection to a valve, manifold, or fixture is required.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX-A tubing terminates at a threaded port. Common installation scenarios include water supply lines, manifold connections, and service valve transitions. The fitting is sold individually, allowing installers to purchase the exact quantity needed per project.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. PEX-A expansion-style fittings require the appropriate expansion tool and correct ring size for the tubing diameter. Verify thread engagement and check for leaks after restoring system pressure.
