This fitting arrives in a 10-pack, making it practical for multi-connection jobs on residential and light commercial plumbing runs. The barb-style design locks into PEX pipe when secured with cinch clamps or copper crimp rings and the appropriate installation tool. Once installed, the system is immediately testable to well over 100 psi, allowing work to continue without extended cure or set times. Lead content on wetted surfaces is less than 0.25% by weight, satisfying California AB1953 and Vermont VT S152 low-lead requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for potable water distribution lines where PEX tubing is the pipe material of choice. Plumbers and pipefitters use barb insert fittings like the UC008LFA10 in new construction, remodel, and repair work. The fitting is compatible with standard cinch clamp tools and crimp ring methods, giving installers flexibility to use the tooling already on their truck. Applications include supply lines, branch connections, and repair splices in 1\/2-inch PEX systems throughout residential and light commercial builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction with less than 0.25% lead by weight on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarb insert design secures with cinch clamps or copper crimp rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmediately testable to well over 100 psi after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets NSF\/ANSI 14-2009 and ASTM F 1807 standards for potable water products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI\/NSF Standard 61 Annex G for lead-free compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-pack quantity reduces per-fitting cost on multi-connection jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2-inch cross-linked polyethylene PEX tubing.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing pipe. Insert the barbed ends fully into the PEX tubing before applying cinch clamps or crimp rings with the proper tool to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not use this fitting on pipe materials other than PEX without verifying compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barb Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Over 100 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content (Wetted Surface)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Less than 0.25% by weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF\/ANSI 14-2009, ASTM F 1807, ANSI\/NSF 61 Annex G, AB1953, VT S152\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: UC008LFA10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564090720562,"sku":"UC008LFA10","price":74.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a64396a2ba99ebf794c77ba9b0392384_173b2027-ea4e-42da-b199-fa596dec9e5b.jpg?v=1786510658","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-uc008lfa10-1-2-in-brass-barb-pex-coupling-10-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
