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

1/2" SharkBite Max Push Fitting 90° Elbow – For Compact Directional Transitions in PEX, CPVC, and Copper Systems

The 1/2" SharkBite Max push-to-connect 90-degree elbow is engineered for quick and secure directional changes in plumbing systems using PEX, CPVC, or copper pipe. Designed for use in potable water and hydronic applications, this fitting simplifies transitions where conventional soldered or crimped joints may be impractical due to space constraints or system design requirements.

Technical Specifications

• Connection Type: Push-to-connect on both ends – compatible with 1/2" PEX, CPVC, or copper pipe
• Material Composition: DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass body with stainless steel grip ring and EPDM O-ring
• Working Pressure: 200 PSI at 73°F
• Temperature Rating: Up to 200°F; suitable for hot and cold water service
• Compliance: Certified to ASSE 1061, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372; lead-free compliant
• Installation: No solder, clamps, glue, or tools required

Applications

Typically used in residential and commercial systems for making 90° directional changes in 1/2" pipe runs. Commonly installed behind walls, under sinks, or in mechanical rooms where tool access is limited and fast installation is critical. Suitable for both new construction and repair work.

Installation Notes

Ensure pipe is clean and cut square. Insertion depth must meet manufacturer specifications (e.g., 15/16" for 1/2" pipe). No additional sealant or thread tape is required. The fitting is removable using a standard SharkBite disconnect clip or tongs. System pressure testing is recommended post-installation per local code.

Performance Considerations

The SharkBite Max fitting line is designed with an improved double-seal system and grip ring profile for enhanced pull strength and long-term performance. These fittings are intended for permanent installation but can be demounted and reused per project requirements.
