Each fitting is constructed from lead-free, dezincification-resistant brass and is compatible exclusively with PEX-A pipe. The connection method relies on the expansion process: the PEX-A pipe end is expanded using a dedicated expansion tool, an expansion ring is slipped over the pipe, and the fitting is inserted. As the pipe recovers its original diameter, it forms a tight, permanent seal. This package contains 24 fittings. Licensed plumbers install these fittings during new construction or remodel work on PEX-A water distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese adapters are suited for residential and light commercial potable water applications where a PEX-A run must transition to a threaded male NPT connection. Typical scenarios include connecting PEX-A tubing runs to ball valves, manifold ports, or threaded fixture supply inlets. Because the expansion method requires a specific tool and matching expansion rings, these fittings are intended for use in projects where that tooling is already on hand. They are not compatible with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free, dezincification-resistant brass construction meets potable water safety requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch PEX-A inlet transitions to 1\/2-inch male NPT threaded outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion-style connection requires no clamps, crimp rings, or open flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only — not suitable for PEX-B or PEX-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use in potable water distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a 24-piece package for project and contractor quantities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting pipe or making any connections. A dedicated PEX expansion tool sized for 1\/2-inch pipe and matching expansion rings are required — do not attempt to install these fittings without the correct expansion tooling. The male NPT end should be wrapped with thread seal tape and hand-tightened before final torque with a wrench to avoid over-stressing the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch PEX-A expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-free dezincification-resistant brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.79 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: UAB120LFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557908840754,"sku":"UAB120LFA","price":122.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/02b1a2e541bdfa739374dd62110b3cdd.jpg?v=1786398034","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-uab120lfa-1-2-pex-a-x-1-2-mnpt-expansion-adapter-24pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
