The SharkBite faucet connector combines a 1/2 In. SharkBite Max push-to-connect 1/4 turn angle stop valve with a standard faucet connector that provides a watertight connection. The 1/2 In. integrated flexible hose is comprised of braided stainless steel for corrosion resistance. SharkBite Max push-to-connect fittings allow you make pipe connections with half the insertion effort while withstanding double the burst pressure. Featuring a newly designed stainless-steel retainer, SharkBite Max delivers additional strength and durability while providing a 250 psi pressure rating. The re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less effort and doesnt require a PEX tube liner. Compatible with copper, PEX, CPVC and PE-RT pipes and does not require any use of solder, glue, additional unions or tools.
