3/4 inch x 1/2 Sharkbite Push Fitting Reducing Adapter for Water Heater Female x Push (Pack of 2)

3/4" x 1/2" Push-to-Connect Reducing Adapter – Brass Fitting for Water Heater Transitions

The 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch push-to-connect reducing adapter is a lead-free brass fitting designed to facilitate rapid transitions between dissimilar pipe sizes in pressurized water systems. It allows for direct connections between a 3/4 inch female threaded outlet and a 1/2 inch copper, CPVC, or PEX line without the use of solder, flux, or specialty tools.

Designed for Professional Use

This push-fitting adapter is manufactured to support high-efficiency installations in potable water systems, particularly in areas where flame-free or confined-space assembly is required. Key functional attributes include:

• ✅ Push-Fit Connection Accepts copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing with standard insertion depth and internal gripping ring for secure hold.
• ✅ Threaded Transition 3/4" female NPT end suitable for direct connection to water heater nipples, valves, or threaded risers.
• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water safety in residential and light commercial systems.
• ✅ Removable and Reusable Can be disconnected and reconnected using a release tool without degrading sealing integrity.
• ✅ No Flame Required Eliminates the need for torches or heat application in finished areas or fire-restricted zones.

Installation Notes

Install by inserting the prepared pipe into the push-fit end until seated against the internal stop. Ensure pipe is clean, round, and free of burrs. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape on the NPT threads as required by application. Follow applicable plumbing codes and torque specifications for threaded joints. Use a disconnect clip if rework is required after installation.
