1/2 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting 90 Degree Elbow Sharkbite x Female

1/2" x 1/2" FNPT Lead-Free Brass Elbow – Push-to-Connect x Female Thread

This 1/2" x 1/2" FNPT push-to-connect elbow fitting features a lead-free brass body and is engineered to transition from a 1/2" CTS (Copper Tube Size) pipe to a 1/2" female threaded outlet. Commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, the fitting is suitable for both hot and cold potable water lines and hydronic heating applications.

Manufactured to meet ASSE 1061 and NSF/ANSI 61 standards, this elbow allows for a mechanical, flame-free connection without the need for solder, glue, or special crimping tools. Its integrated stainless steel grip ring and chloramine-resistant O-ring deliver secure, code-compliant connections that can be installed in wet lines and rotated after connection for simplified positioning in tight or concealed spaces.

Installation Guidelines

Installation requires minimal tools. Cut pipe square, deburr, mark insertion depth, and push the pipe into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. For threaded connections, use thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads only. Always pressure test after installation to confirm system integrity.

Use Applications

• Potable water distribution (copper, CPVC, PEX)
• Transition from PEX or copper supply lines to threaded valves or fixtures
• Repairs in confined or wet areas where soldering is not feasible

Additional Notes

• Approved for underground and behind-wall use without access panels (check local code requirements).
• Push connections can be released and reused with a disconnect clip or tongs.

This lead-free push-to-connect x FNPT elbow is ideal for tight turn applications and threaded fixture transitions. It combines speed, reliability, and performance to meet modern installation demands without compromising code compliance or long-term durability.
