Sharkbite UAB120LFA Brass Mnpt Pex-a Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UAB120LFA is a brass male NPT to PEX-A adapter fitting designed for connecting PEX-A tubing to threaded pipe systems. This push-to-connect style fitting eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or clamp tools, making it a practical solution for plumbing repairs and installations. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers use this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable, leak-free connection between PEX-A pipe and a male NPT threaded port is required.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where PEX-A flexible tubing meets threaded pipe connections, such as at shutoff valves, manifolds, water heaters, and fixture supply lines. The MNPT end threads into female-threaded fittings or ports, while the PEX-A end accepts PEX-A tubing using the push-fit mechanism. It is sold individually, making it convenient for single-point repairs or small-scale installations.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in potable water applications
• Male NPT (MNPT) threaded end for connection to female-threaded ports or fittings
• PEX-A compatible push-fit end eliminates need for crimp rings or clamp tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using PEX-A tubing with male NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or removing any fitting. Ensure PEX-A tubing is cut cleanly and squarely using an appropriate pipe cutter before inserting into the push-fit end. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads as required by local code before making the threaded connection.
