Sharkbite Max 3/4 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/4 in. FIP x 18 in. Water Heater Connector in Braided Stainless Steel - UR3088FX18

<div>About This Product<p>SharkBite Max flexible water heater connectors are the fastest and easiest way to connect your water heater to existing pipes in your home. A newly designed stainless steel collet retainer delivers additional strength and durability and provides a 200 psi pressure rating. SharkBite Max connectors do not require a PEX tube liner, and a re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less force and greater ease. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools required. After inserting to pipe, stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe tightly while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around the pipe to create a watertight seal. The flexible stainless steel braided hose reduces the need for extra joints or fittings, allowing for faster installs. Available in additional lengths (12 in. to 24 in.) and with integrated ball valve shut off.</p></div><div>Highlights<ul><li><span>Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC PE-RT, or HDPE pipe</span></li><li><span>Approved for electric and gas water heaters with flue vent</span></li><li><span>Requires no special tools to install on hot or cold-water lines</span></li><li><span>Can be installed on wet or dry lines pressure tested immediately</span></li><li><span>Rotatable after installation and removable</span></li><li><span>PEX tube liner not required</span></li><li><span>Approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panels (wrapping required when burying underground)</span></li><li><span>Low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body</span></li><li><span>Rated to 140°F and 200 psi</span></li><li><span>Code approved, IAPMO Listed for details, see specification</span></li></ul><div><div>Dimensions</div><table><tbody><tr><th><p>Product Depth (in.)</p></th><td><p>18 in</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Product Height (in.)</p></th><td><p>1.29 in</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Product Length (in.)</p></th><td><p>18 in</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Product Width (in.)</p></th><td><p>1.29 in</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><div>Details</div><table><tbody><tr><th><p>Application</p></th><td><p>Potable Water</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Compatible Brand/Model</p></th><td><p>Universal</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Finish Family</p></th><td><p>Silver Metallic</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>For Use With</p></th><td><p>Electric Tank, Electric Tankless, Gas Tank, Gas Tankless</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Material</p></th><td><p>Stainless Steel</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Pack Size</p></th><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Product Weight (lb.)</p></th><td><p>0.68 lb</p></td></tr><tr><th><p>Returnable</p></th><td><p>30-Day</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>
