3/8 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting 90 Degree Elbow Sharkbite x Sharkbite

3/8" Lead-Free Brass Push-to-Connect Elbow – Secure Directional Transitions for Potable Systems

This 3/8" push-to-connect elbow fitting is engineered for fast, secure 90-degree directional changes in potable water and hydronic heating applications. Fabricated from lead-free DZR brass, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in high-use systems. Designed to connect 3/8" pipe without the need for solder, clamps, unions, or glue, it’s a versatile solution for tight installations and quick repairs.

The fitting utilizes stainless steel grab rings and EPDM O-rings to ensure a watertight seal and strong mechanical hold. It accommodates multiple piping materials, making it a field-proven choice for both new installations and retrofit work across residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Guidelines

Installation requires no specialized tools. After cutting and deburring the pipe, simply mark the insertion depth and push the pipe into the fitting until it meets the internal stop. For disassembly, a standard disconnect clip or tongs can be used, allowing for reusability and repositioning during maintenance or layout adjustments.

Typical Applications

• Potable water distribution systems
• Hydronic baseboard heating circuits
• Under-sink or in-wall installations
• Transitions between pipe materials in confined areas

Contractor Insight

This 3/8" push-to-connect elbow is widely used in retrofit environments where space constraints or the need for a flame-free connection drive installation requirements. Its compact form and tool-free assembly reduce labor time and increase project flexibility.

Whether you're working on pressurized potable lines or small-diameter heating runs, this fitting delivers code-compliant performance and streamlined installation in a durable, lead-free brass body.
