SharkBite UIP3008 Push-Fit Coupling Fitting 1/2 in Brass

SKU CH-H7CG-Z5B85

A push-fit brass coupling joins two 1/2 in tubes for potable water systems without tools

  • Push-fit design enables tool-free installation on copper, CPVC or PEX
  • Brass construction resists corrosion for long service life in potable water systems
  • Rated to 200 psi and 200 °F for reliable performance under pressure
  • Connects two 1/2 in tubes with a secure, leak-free seal
  • California Proposition 65 notice: contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm

Direct Connection for Half-Inch Copper

This brass push-fit coupling joins two half-inch tubes without solder, crimp tools or glue. It is intended for potable-water lines in residential and light-commercial plumbing where a quick, permanent joint is required.

Rated to 200 psi and 200 Degrees F

The fitting handles typical hot and cold distribution pressures and temperatures without leaking or deforming. No thread sealant is included or needed because the push-to-connect design seals on the tube outer diameter.

No Additional Sealant or Special Tools Supplied

The package contains only the coupling itself, so installers must provide tube cutters and deburring tools. Buyers needing threaded adapters, reducing sizes or bundled sealant will have to source those separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the push-fit coupling on 1/2 in tube and what step do people get wrong?

Cut the tube square, deburr the edge, mark the insertion depth, then push straight in until the mark disappears; the common error is skipping the deburr, which can damage the internal O-ring and cause leaks.

What maintenance or replacement will the brass push-fit coupling need over time?

Inspect the fitting periodically for corrosion or mineral build-up; if the O-ring or grab ring shows wear, or if the brass body develops green patina, replace the entire coupling rather than attempting a repair.

What limit appears first when the fitting runs at its 200 psi and 200 °F ratings for long periods?

The 200 °F temperature ceiling is reached before the 200 psi pressure limit, so sustained hot-water service at the maximum temperature will dictate the fitting’s usable life.
