Sharkbite UP058A5 Pex Reducing Coupling 3/4 X 1/2 Inch 5 Pack

Product Description

The SharkBite UP058A5 is a poly crimp reducing coupling designed for joining 3/4-inch PEX pipe to 1/2-inch PEX pipe using standard copper crimp rings or stainless steel clamps. The fitting body is constructed from Acudel Polymer, a high-strength engineered material rated for a working pressure of 160 psi at 33 degrees F and 80 psi at 200 degrees F. No tools, glue, or soldering are required for installation. This listing includes 5 couplings per pack. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, though the tool-free design is accessible to experienced DIYers working within code-permitted scopes.

The UP058A5 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including potable water distribution, hydronic heating loops, and radiant floor heating applications. The reducing configuration accommodates transitions between 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch PEX tubing, a common size change at branch points in water distribution systems. All five couplings in the pack share the same certifications, making bulk replacement or new-construction rough-in straightforward.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch PEX tubing in potable water, hydronic, and radiant systems. Installation uses standard copper crimp rings or stainless steel clamp rings per applicable PEX fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting. Use a calibrated PEX crimp or clamp tool to secure rings to the proper go/no-go gauge standard. Inspect each connection for full ring seating before restoring pressure.
