Sharkbite UC060LFA Pex Barb Reducing Coupling 3/4x1 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UC060LFA is a PEX barb reducing coupling designed to transition between two different PEX pipe sizes in a single fitting. Constructed from lead-free DZR brass, this coupling meets the material and safety requirements demanded in both potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems. The barbed connection style is compatible with stainless steel clamp systems and copper crimping systems, giving installers flexibility in tooling and installation method. It carries ASTM F1807, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF 372 certifications, confirming suitability for drinking water contact and lead-free compliance. Licensed plumbers and PEX installers use this fitting wherever a reduction from 1 inch to 3/4 inch pipe is required in a single pass.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial PEX piping systems, including potable water distribution lines and closed-loop hydronic heating applications. The reducing barb design eliminates the need for a separate union or adapter when stepping down pipe size, keeping transition points compact. It is sold in a package quantity of 6, making it practical for service trucks and multi-unit jobs where this reduction size is a common requirement.
