SharkBite UIP4008 Brass Coupling
This SharkBite UIP4008 fitting joins 1/2 inch copper tube to PVC pipe using push-to-connect ends. It suits plumbers and homeowners making potable water repairs or alterations without soldering or glue. The straight adapter design fits tight spaces where a transition is required. It is not for gas lines or drainage systems needing solvent weld joints.
Capacity and Headroom
The coupling handles a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 200 Degrees F. These ratings cover typical residential hot and cold water supply lines. It runs out of headroom in high-pressure commercial mains or steam applications exceeding those limits. The 1 1/4 in overall length limits use where a longer transition piece is needed.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
As a passive brass fitting it draws no power and produces no noise during normal operation. The brass body conducts heat from hot water lines but remains within safe handling temperatures at the rated 200 Degrees F. No thermal cycling fatigue is expected within the specified pressure and temperature range. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2" push-to-connect ends seal reliably on my existing copper and CPVC lines without soldering or glue?
Yes, each end is a push-to-connect design made for 1/2" outer-diameter tube, so it grips copper or CPVC instantly without solder, flux, or solvent cement.
How can I verify the joint is holding at the rated 200 psi after I push the pipes in?
Pressurise the system and inspect the coupling; a proper seal shows no water seepage at either port while the gauge reads up to 200 psi.
Does the brass coupling come with any sealant, tape, or pipe inserts, or must I purchase them separately?
The fitting arrives pre-lubricated for push-in assembly and includes no thread sealant, tape, or stiffener inserts; buy those separately if your local code requires them.
