The SharkBite Push-to-Connect Reducer is a versatile and time-saving plumbing fitting designed to join different pipe sizes without the need for soldering, glue, clamps, or special tools. One end features a SharkBite push-to-connect fitting that instantly attaches to PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe, while the opposite side has a copper tube-sized (CTS) tailpiece that inserts into any appropriately sized SharkBite fitting, making it ideal for reducing a larger connection to a smaller one. Rated for up to 200.psi and 200. deg. F , this lead-free brass reducer is suitable for both potable water and hydronic applications and can be installed in wet conditions, behind walls, or even underground when properly wrapped. Its simple push-fit design accelerates installation and reduces potential errors, offering plumbers and DIYers a reliable, durable solution for adapting pipe sizes in tight spaces.
