SHARKBITE UC514LFA — 1/2 IN PEX BARB PLUG (LEAD‑FREE DZR BRASS)

The SharkBite UC514LFA is a 1/2‑inch PEX barb plug used to permanently cap or terminate a PEX line in potable‑water and hydronic‑heating installations. This plug provides a secure, leak‑resistant seal when used with standard copper crimp rings or stainless‑steel clamp systems, making it ideal for dead‑end terminations, line testing, or system isolation.

Constructed from lead‑free DZR brass, the UC514LFA offers excellent corrosion resistance and long‑term durability. It is compatible with all PEX tubing types (A, B, and C) and integrates easily into any standard crimp/clamp plumbing system. This fitting is suitable for residential, commercial, and hydronic applications requiring a reliable and code‑approved end‑point connection.
