This push-to-connect style adapter provides a reliable transition between PEX-A flexible tubing and standard male national pipe thread connections, eliminating the need for soldering, crimping, or clamp tools at the connection point. It is sold individually and is appropriate for potable water supply applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers working with PEX-A distribution systems are the primary users of this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for water supply distribution systems where PEX-A tubing terminates at a threaded valve, manifold port, fixture shutoff, or threaded nipple. PEX-A offers superior flexibility and freeze resistance compared to PEX-B or PEX-C, making this adapter a common component in new construction and remodel plumbing rough-ins. The male NPT thread allows direct connection to female-threaded fittings and valves already installed in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX-A tubing for push-to-connect or expansion-style installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale NPT thread end connects directly to female-threaded valves and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as individual unit for flexible job-site quantity purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for potable water supply plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.154 pounds for easy handling and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for PEX-A plumbing distribution systems using male NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or modifying any connections. Ensure PEX-A tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the push-to-connect end, and apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before engaging the female threaded fitting. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting or mating threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-A Push-to-Connect x Male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UAB116LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68081619435826,"sku":"UAB116LFA","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7d9fdd15d82280184eded2767042211d.jpg?v=1793143302","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-uab116lfa-pex-a-male-npt-adapter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
