Sharkbite ur412-6 Brass Push Reducing Tee 3/4x3/4x1/2

Product Description

The SHARKBITE ur412-6 is a lead-free DZR brass push-to-connect reducing tee designed to join PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE SDR-9 pipe across two different sizes. The fitting accepts 3/4-inch pipe on both run ports and 1/2-inch pipe on the branch port, making it a direct solution for reducing branch lines without cutting into a larger assembly. A stainless steel retainer ring grips the pipe internally, rated to 200 degrees F and 250 psi. No soldering, crimping, gluing, or special tools are required. The fitting can be installed on wet, pressurized lines and tested immediately after connection.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where two pipe sizes meet at a branch point. Common applications include domestic water distribution, radiant heating branch lines, and retrofit plumbing work where access is limited. The fitting is approved for underground burial and behind-wall installation with no access panel required, which makes it practical in new construction and remodel scenarios alike. No tube liner is required when used with PEX pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work, even though the fitting is capable of installation on wet lines. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and clean to the full insertion depth mark before pushing into the fitting. Use a manufacturer-approved disconnect tool if removal or repositioning is needed — do not attempt to pull the fitting free without one.
