Sharkbite ur514 Push-to-connect Cap 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE ur514 is a 1/2-inch push-to-connect end cap designed to terminate and seal open pipe ends without soldering, crimping, or threading. The fitting accepts copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe and locks onto the pipe end using the integrated stainless steel teeth and O-ring seal. Plumbers and pipefitters use this cap to permanently or temporarily close off a supply line, test a rough-in, or cap a decommissioned branch. The fitting body measures approximately 1.85 inches in length and weighs under 1 pound, making it easy to handle in tight spaces.

The ur514 cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including potable water supply, hydronic branch terminations, and pressure testing scenarios. It installs on 1/2-inch nominal pipe and is appropriate wherever a fast, no-torch solution is required. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers are the primary users, though the fitting is also used by knowledgeable DIYers working on residential water lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before installing the cap.
