A: Hello,
The SharkBite 3/4 in. Push-to-Connect PVC IPS x 3/4 in. MIP Brass Adapter Fitting could be threaded into cast bronze as long cast bronze has FIP threads. It is not recommended to connect cast bronze to brass because of two dissimilar metals can cause corrosion. If you have any more questions you can contact tech support at 877-700-4242. Kind regards,

A: If the cast bronze has the same size threads as this sharkbite fitting, it can be screwed into it.
