I did the work even with a pipe that had some water water running. Cheap item, and does the job right. This piece will allow you to connect and will last for years to come. I have used these in projects at home. And yes, for those of you wondering, this piece has a female thread on the inside. I provided images of the product to show. Pros: -Durable -Easy to install -Can be connected if some / to little water is running -Cheap! Ps: I used joint thread compound to secure fit. You may want to consider using something to seal that part. ## Frequently Bought Together - SharkBite 1/2 x 1/2 Inch FNPT Adapter, Push To Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U072LFA - SharkBite 1 Inch MNPT Adapter, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U140LFA - SharkBite 1/2 Inch Tee, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U362LFA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/209576246-u072lfa-straight-connector-plumbing-female-1-2-in-fnpt-pex](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/209576246-u072lfa-straight-connector-plumbing-female-1-2-in-fnpt-pex) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
