Matco-norca pxcel04lf Brass Pex Expansion 90 Elbow 3/4 Inches

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA pxcel04lf is a 3/4-inch lead free brass 90-degree elbow designed for cold expansion PEX connections per ASTM F1960. It is manufactured and tested to both ASTM F1960 and ASTM F877 standards, and it carries CSA B137.5 compliance. Rated for a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F at 100 psi, this fitting is built for demanding potable water service. Licensed plumbers install it in residential and light commercial PEX distribution systems where a reliable, code-compliant directional change is required. Its lead free brass construction meets current lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications.

This elbow is suited for hot and cold potable water distribution systems using 3/4-inch PEX pipe with the cold expansion method. The expansion fitting design requires a PEX expansion tool and the appropriate expansion ring before insertion, making it a standard step in F1960 PEX rough-in work. It is commonly installed during new construction plumbing or remodel projects wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed in the supply line.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. A calibrated PEX expansion tool and correctly sized expansion rings are required for F1960 cold expansion connections.
