Description
The SharkBite UR3068FX18BV is a braided stainless steel water heater connector designed to quickly connect hot and cold supply lines to your water heater. This push-fit connector eliminates the need for soldering, glue, or specialized tools, making installation fast and straightforward for both residential and commercial plumbing applications. The integrated ball valve allows you to shut off the water supply to your water heater at any time, providing convenient maintenance and emergency control without requiring additional shutoff valves elsewhere in your system.
Whether you are replacing an old connector, upgrading your water heater installation, or adding supply line flexibility to your plumbing, this connector simplifies the job by accepting PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and SDR-9 HDPE pipe in any combination. The reinforced stainless steel collar and EPDM knitted construction deliver durability and a secure lock-in connection, while eliminating flow restrictions on copper and CPVC lines.
