U4482lfa Service Slip Tee Adapter, 1/2 In, Dzr Brass

The SharkBite U4482LFA is a push-fit service slip tee adapter designed to add a plumbing line into an existing system. This fitting serves as an alternative to traditional saddle valves, making it useful for both fresh installations and emergency repairs where quick connections are needed.

The slip feature of this adapter lets you remove up to 2 inches of rigid copper or CPVC pipe from an existing line, then reconnect it using the SharkBite disconnect clip. The service end accepts any 1/2-inch SharkBite push-to-connect fitting, making it particularly useful for installing stop valves such as straight stops or angle stops. This versatility expands your installation options and simplifies line modifications.
