Introducing the SharkBite Push to Connect 3/8 in PTC X 3/8 in D PTC Brass Reducing Tee — a compact, dependable solution for branching small-walled water lines without soldering. Crafted in lead-free brass and finished in a distinct red tone, this SharkBite fitting combines durability with instant, tool-free installation for quick plumbing upgrades and reliable service.
Designed for fast, secure connections, the Push to Connect (PTC) interface eliminates clamps, glue, or torches. Simply cut, insert, and you’re ready to flow. The parallel 3/8 in ends (End 1: 3/8 in, PTC; End 2: 3/8 in, PTC) give you a straightforward branch-off from a main line, making it ideal for tight spaces, appliance hookups, or retrofit projects where conventional fittings are cumbersome.
