Built with a compact DZR brass body, this push-fit fitting requires no soldering, crimping, or clamps. It is rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications. The integrated drop ear design allows the fitting to be anchored directly to a wall or framing member, providing a stable mount point for supply stub-outs. Installation requires no loose components and is approved for underground use and concealed installations behind walls without access panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ur334 is intended for use in residential and light commercial systems where copper, CPVC, or OD-controlled PEX pipe is present. The drop ear configuration is commonly used for shower arms, tub spouts, and wall-mounted fixture supply lines. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications. Its lead-free construction meets requirements for potable water contact, and its hydronic heating certification makes it a dual-purpose option for radiant or baseboard heating systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-fit connection — no soldering, crimping, or special tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F for potable and hydronic heating use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free DZR brass body resists corrosion and dezincification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for underground installations and concealed locations without access panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch FNPT thread with 15\/16-inch insertion depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with OD-controlled copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with OD-controlled copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe in 1\/2-inch size.
