Rwc U280LFA Sharkbite 1/2 in Push-to-connect Mnpt Brass Elbow

Product Description

The RWC U280LFA is a SharkBite push-to-connect 90-degree brass elbow with male NPT (MNPT) transition, sized at 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch. It is designed to create a right-angle turn while transitioning from push-to-connect tubing to a threaded male fitting in a potable water system. Rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, this elbow meets demanding residential and light commercial plumbing requirements. Low-lead construction limits weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces to no more than 0.25%, keeping the fitting compliant with current safe drinking water standards. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting where toolless connections are preferred.

This elbow is suited for use with OD-controlled copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing in residential and light commercial potable water distribution systems. The push-to-connect end accepts the tubing without soldering, crimping, or clamps, while the 1/2 inch MNPT end threads into a female-threaded port on a valve, fixture, or manifold. It is commonly installed in tight spaces where a 90-degree directional change and a threaded transition are needed in a single compact fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before making any connections. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the fitting stop line before pressurizing. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before engaging the female threaded port.
