SharkBite PEX Adapter, Swivel, Barb x FPT, 1/2" x 1/2", Poly-Alloy, 5/Bag

Connect PEX to threaded lines with less fuss.

A practical PEX adapter for potable water and hydronic work.

Product Overview:

When you are tying PEX into a threaded fitting, small parts can turn into a real headache. This SharkBite PEX adapter keeps it plain and steady. It gives you a 1/2 inch barb on one side and a 1/2 inch female threaded connection on the other, so the job moves along without a lot of fuss. It fits potable water distribution and hydronic heating work, and it works with stainless steel clamp systems or copper crimp ring systems sold separately. The poly alloy body feels solid in hand, and the swivel design helps when space is tight. Picture a cleaner install, a calmer pace, and fittings that line up the way they should.

Key Features:

• Swivel connection: The swivel design helps you line things up cleanly when the pipe run feels cramped.
• Barb x FPT fit: One side grips 1/2 inch PEX, while the female threaded side meets a male threaded connection without drama.
• Poly alloy build: The poly alloy construction keeps the fitting light in your hand and ready for everyday water work.
• Clamp or crimp use: You can pair it with a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system, depending on the setup.
• Potable water and hydronic use: It suits potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications, so you can set it in place with confidence.
