Rwc U308LFA Sharkbite 1/2 in Push-connect Brass 90 Elbow Fnpt

Product Description

The RWC U308LFA is a lead-free brass 90-degree push-to-connect elbow designed for fast, tool-free transitions between push-fit pipe and female NPT threaded connections. One end accepts pipe via SharkBite push-fit technology; the other end is 1/2 inch FNPT threaded. Both connection sizes are 1/2 inch. Compatible pipe types include PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE. The fitting is constructed from lead-free brass, meeting requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 90-degree directional change is needed at a threaded termination point.

This elbow is suited for installations where space is limited and conventional soldering or crimping is not practical. Its push-to-connect inlet allows the fitting to be inserted and secured without heat, flux, or specialty tools. Typical applications include supply line transitions, fixture connections, and retrofit work on existing PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE systems where the run terminates at a female threaded port. The 90-degree angle makes it well suited for routing pipe along walls, inside cabinets, or in confined mechanical spaces.

Compatibility

Compatible with 1/2 inch PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe on the push-fit end. The threaded outlet connects to any standard 1/2 inch female NPT port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before inserting or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressurizing. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified for the pipe and fitting system in use.
