COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Approved Uses
This SharkBite reducing coupling is approved for potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications. The lead-free DZR brass construction meets current drinking water regulations, while the dual compatibility with both stainless steel clamps and copper crimp rings gives installers flexibility in securing connections. Use this fitting wherever you need to step down PEX tubing diameter without adding extra joints or transition fittings.
💧 Remember to purchase the appropriate clamps or crimp rings separately—SharkBite PEX barb fittings require mechanical fastening to create a watertight seal, unlike SharkBite's push-to-connect brass fittings.
