Sized at 0.5 inches, it is rated for a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F at 100 psi, making it suitable for both hot and cold potable water distribution. The fitting is manufactured and tested in accordance with ASTM F1960 and F877, and it meets CSA B137.5 requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit projects where PEX-A tubing and cold expansion tooling are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is suited for residential and light commercial potable water distribution systems where directional changes in 0.5-inch PEX-A lines are required. Cold expansion fittings require an expansion tool to enlarge the tubing end before the fitting is inserted, after which the tubing contracts to form a secure, leak-resistant joint. The F1960 cold expansion method is widely used in hydronic and domestic water applications for its robust connection reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction meets current federal and state lead-free compliance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for 180 degrees F at 100 psi for hot and cold potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured and tested to ASTM F1960 and ASTM F877 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with CSA B137.5 for PEX piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree elbow configuration for directional piping changes in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 0.5-inch PEX-A tubing in F1960 cold expansion potable water distribution systems rated for hot and cold service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a calibrated F1960 cold expansion tool sized for 0.5-inch PEX-A tubing. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for potable water piping. Do not use this fitting with PEX-B or PEX-C crimp or clamp connection methods, as the F1960 expansion system is specific to PEX-A tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: F1960 Cold Expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90-Degree Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM F1960, ASTM F877, CSA B137.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot and Cold Potable Water Distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MATCO-NORCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: pxcel03lf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467447566642,"sku":"PXCEL03LF","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946317.jpg?v=1783904613","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-pxcel03lf-brass-pex-f1960-90-elbow-0-5-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
