SHARKBITE UC088LFA — 3/4 IN × 3/4 IN PEX BARB × FNPT ADAPTER (LEAD‑FREE DZR BRASS)
The SharkBite UC088LFA is a 3/4‑inch PEX barb × 3/4‑inch FNPT threaded female adapter designed to create a secure, leak‑resistant transition between PEX tubing and female‑threaded plumbing components. Constructed from lead‑free DZR brass, this fitting offers superior corrosion resistance and long‑term reliability for potable‑water systems, hydronic heating loops, and radiant‑heat installations.
This adapter connects to PEX using standard crimp or clamp systems and accommodates PEX‑A, PEX‑B, and PEX‑C tubing. The barb end provides a strong mechanical seal, while the FNPT threaded side mates tightly with male‑threaded valves, manifolds, hose connections, and other fittings. Its hexagonal body allows easy tightening during installation, even in confined spaces.
Engineered for durability, the UC088LFA is suitable for both residential and commercial plumbing and supports high‑demand environments with temperatures up to 200°F and pressures up to 160 PSI. Its full‑flow design maintains system efficiency without restricting water volume.
