Composed of strong and sturdy brass metal, this male PEX fitting is perfect for making a transition from PVC or IPS (iron pipe size) pipe to PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe without the need for glue, soldering, or additional tools. Compatible with schedule 40, 80 and 120 PVC pipe, these SharkBite plumbing fittings are approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panels (wrapping required when burying underground), and can be installed in wet lines. Brass male fitting is rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
