3/4 in. x 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect Brass 90-Degree Reducing Elbow Fitting

A:  Hello, SharkBite model # U274LFA is suitable for 3/4" nominal pipe (7/8" OD) on one side and 1/2" nominal pipe (5/8" OD) pipe on the other side. Unfortunately, this fitting is not suitable for use with 3/4" OD and 1/2" OD copper pipe. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our technical support department at 877-700-4242. Regards

A:  Yes!

A:  The stub to connect to should be about 3/4" long, once it is squared off and deburred, so that the fitting can slide on to its appropriate depth. Note however that a short stub like that might prevent easy removal (with the removal tool), since the tool itself requires about 3/8" of space beyond the plastic "release ring" to slip the removal tool in place over the tubing.

A:  1 inch for 1/2'' pipe

A:  I would recommend at least 1 1/2 inch of pipe on each end of the SharkBite connector. This would allow 1 inch of pipe that goes into the connector and allows room for the disconnect C-ring that can be used to slide the fitting off the pipe if you need to change the length of the pipe or use the fitting somewhere else.

A:  2 inches

A:  A 1/2" SharkBite fitting requires an insertion dept of 0.95", so you will need just shy of an inch to make a clean connection with SharkBite. If you want to be extra safe we sell a Depth/Deburring Tool (search Model # U702 on Homedepot.com) this will allow you to deburr your copper and also mark the insertion depth so you can be sure you have a proper connection once complete.
