3/4 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting Adapter Push x Male

3/4 Inch Push-to-Connect x Male Thread Adapter – Brass Transition Fitting

The 3/4 inch push-to-connect x male thread adapter is a brass transition fitting designed to connect copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing to female-threaded fittings in residential and commercial plumbing systems. It offers a tool-free installation method using a push-fit mechanism, enabling rapid and secure connections in both repair and new construction scenarios.

Material and Connection Standards

This fitting features a brass body with an integrated stainless steel grab ring and EPDM O-ring that seals around the pipe upon insertion. It is engineered for compatibility with ASTM-compliant tubing and NPT-threaded components, and is approved for use in potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems.

• ✅ Brass Construction Lead-free DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass suitable for potable water applications.
• ✅ Push-Fit End Compatible with copper (ASTM B88), CPVC (ASTM D2846), and PEX (ASTM F876/F877) tubing without the use of additional tools.
• ✅ Threaded End Standard male NPT thread per ANSI B1.20.1 for secure engagement with metal or plastic female fittings.
• ✅ Pressure Rating Certified for use in systems up to 200 PSI and 200°F when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

Installation Considerations

Ensure pipe is cut square, free of burrs, and inserted to the specified depth for full engagement with the internal seal. No soldering, clamps, or crimping tools are required. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threaded end as required by application. Removal and reuse are possible using the designated disconnect clip or tongs.

Common Applications

Used in branch and fixture connections, water heater installations, manifold tie-ins, and transitional repairs. Suitable for confined spaces, finished wall systems, or where flame-free assembly is required. Common in potable water, chilled water, and low-temperature hydronic systems.

Code and Certification

This fitting complies with UPC, IPC, and NSPC codes and is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards. Approved for underground and behind-wall use without access panels, subject to local jurisdiction requirements.
