The kit pairs a 1/2-inch push-to-connect inlet with a built-in quarter-turn full-port angle stop brass valve, delivering a secure, watertight connection for your toilet's water supply. The stainless steel braided hose, reinforced stainless steel collar, and DZR lead-free brass body combine to deliver a sturdy, long-lasting connection you can rely on. Rated to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and 125 psi, it performs confidently under a range of water conditions while remaining flexible enough for tight spaces and wet lines.

Versatility at a glance

Designed for versatility, this SharkBite Max connector works with PEX, CPVC, PE-RT, SDR-9 HDPE, and copper pipes, making it a practical retrofit option for many homes and small commercial projects. The absence of a PEX liner means fewer potential flow restrictions on Copper or CPVC installations, supporting steady water delivery without added steps.

• Compatibility with multiple pipe materials enables easier upgrades and repairs without swapping fittings.
• Immediate pressure-test readiness helps validate connections on wet lines.

Durability and performance

The connection features a reinforced stainless steel collar, a durable DZR lead-free brass body, and a stainless steel braided line that resists kinking and wear. It is rated to withstand up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and 125 PSI, suitable for residential and light commercial settings.

• Reinforced collar reduces insertion effort and adds strength during fittings.
• High-temperature and pressure rating supports varied water conditions.

Practical installation tips

In tight bathroom spaces or under crowded sink lines, the tool-free design helps you stay on schedule without soldering or crimping. The integrated angle stop allows precise shut-off control, aiding maintenance and fixture changes.

Use cases include replacing worn supply lines, upgrading to a stainless steel braid for longevity, or configuring new toilet hookups in tight corners or wet basements. In case of maintenance, the valve’s quarter-turn design reduces water shut-off time and limits mess.
