Push-fit faucet connector

The SharkBite U3525LF is a push-fit faucet connector that joins 1/4-inch tube to 1/2-inch MPT threads without solder, unions or glue. It suits plumbers and DIYers who need a fast, tool-free connection for copper, PEX or CPVC supply lines in residential or light-commercial work.

Pressure and temperature limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 psi and an operating temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. These limits define the safe envelope for hot and cold water distribution; the connector must not be used in systems that exceed either value.

DZR brass body with EPDM gasket

The chrome-plated dezincification-resistant brass body resists corrosion in aggressive water conditions while the EPDM gasket provides a reliable seal. The push-fit design allows immediate installation and, if required, disconnection with a release tool, simplifying future maintenance or reconfiguration.
