Why choose this product

Engineered for Reliability: USA-Sourced Brass Fittings

SharkBite fittings are manufactured to strict US standards, ensuring superior material quality and precise threading that local alternatives may not consistently match. The DZR brass construction resists dezincification, crucial for potable water systems and preventing contamination. This pack of five provides excellent value, allowing for secure, leak-free transitions between PEX and threaded pipes in hydronic heating or water supply lines. Imported directly from authorized US retailers, these are the same high-performance fittings used by professionals across North America.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

Ideal for plumbers, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners undertaking new installations or repairs for potable water lines and hydronic heating systems. Perfect for those who prioritize durable, corrosion-resistant fittings with verified specifications. Skip if you require fittings for non-potable industrial applications or if your system operates outside the specified temperature and pressure ranges (33-200°F, 80-160 PSI).

How to use

Cut the 1/2-inch PEX or PE-RT pipe cleanly to the desired length using a PEX cutter. Ensure the end is round and free of burrs for a proper seal. — Prepare PEX Pipe
Mark the insertion depth on the PEX pipe using the SharkBite depth gauge or a marker. Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the adapter until the depth mark is reached. — Mark and Insert Pipe
Slide a copper crimp ring or stainless steel clamp onto the PEX pipe according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a PEX crimp tool or clamp tool to secure the ring/clamp firmly around the pipe and adapter connection. — Secure with Crimp Ring/Clamp
Screw the FNPT end of the adapter onto the corresponding male threaded fitting. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a secure, leak-proof connection, ensuring not to overtighten. — Connect to Threaded Fitting
