Sharkbite UP514A5 Pex End Plug 1/2 Inch 5 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UP514A5 is a 1/2 inch poly PEX end plug with an alloy barb fitting, sold in a 5-pack. It is designed to terminate and cap off open PEX tubing lines in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The plug seals the end of a PEX run cleanly and securely, preventing flow and pressure loss in active water distribution or hydronic heating systems. Its barb-style construction keeps installation straightforward and eliminates the need for specialized tooling beyond a standard clamp or crimp tool already in most plumbers' kits.

This end plug is suited for potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications. It works with both stainless steel clamp systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the connection standard already in use on the job. It is a practical, low-cost solution for capping off dead-end PEX lines, service stubs, or temporarily inactive branch runs during rough-in or phased construction.

Installation Notes

Reference IPC or applicable local plumbing code for approved termination methods on potable water and hydronic lines.
