Rwc U340LFA 3/4 in Ptc X Fpt Drop Ear Brass Elbow

Product Description

The RWC U340LFA is a 3/4-inch push-to-connect (PTC) x 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) 90-degree drop ear brass elbow, commonly called a 1/4 bend, designed for fast, tool-free connections in residential and light commercial plumbing. Constructed from one-piece DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, it is rated for 200 degrees F and 200 psi. The drop ear design provides a threaded mounting flange that anchors a shower arm, wall-mount faucet, or similar fixture to a stud or backing plate. Licensed plumbers and experienced trade professionals install this fitting when a permanent, pressure-rated 90-degree turn and a fixed wall attachment point are needed in the same fitting body.

This fitting is suitable for use with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe, making it a versatile choice across new construction and retrofit plumbing work. The push-to-connect mechanism allows the pipe to be inserted and locked without soldering, crimping, or gluing, which reduces labor time at rough-in. The fitting is removable and reusable with a standard SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tongs, supporting inspection, rework, or reconfiguration after initial installation. It is safe for in-wall and underground burial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in jurisdictions that require permits for plumbing rough-in work. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before inserting or removing the fitting. Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion to ensure a full seal. Verify local code acceptance of push-to-connect fittings for the intended application, including in-wall or underground use, before installation.
