3/4 inch Plastic Disconnect Clip

3/4" SharkBite U712 Disconnecting Clip – Tool for Push-to-Connect Fitting Removal

The 3/4" U712 Disconnecting Clip is a removal tool designed specifically for use with SharkBite push-to-connect plumbing fittings. This tool enables quick and efficient disconnection of 3/4" push-to-connect fittings from PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE piping systems without damage to the fitting or tubing.

Made from durable polymer, the clip provides the necessary leverage to compress the stainless steel grab ring within the fitting, releasing the pipe for repositioning or reuse. It is suitable for service and repair tasks where fittings need to be disconnected from installed pipework in confined or finished spaces.

Tool Features

• ✅ Application-Specific Design Compatible with 3/4" SharkBite push-to-connect fittings only.
• ✅ Durable Polymer Construction Provides repeatable performance in field conditions.
• ✅ Low-Profile Form Allows access to fittings in limited-clearance areas such as behind wall cavities and under fixtures.

Usage Notes

To operate, position the disconnect clip around the pipe with the flat edge toward the fitting’s release collar. Apply uniform pressure to compress the collar while pulling the pipe out of the fitting. Ensure the pipe is free of scoring and debris before reconnection.
