Rwc UC246LFA 3/8 in Barb 90 Degree Brass Pex Elbow

Product Description

The RWC UC246LFA is a 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch barb 90-degree PEX elbow fitting manufactured from lead-free DZR brass. It is designed to connect PEX tubing at a right angle in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems. The fitting meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 certification requirements, making it suitable for potable water contact. Its barb-style connection works with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, with clamp or crimp tools sold separately. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of PEX distribution runs where a 90-degree direction change is required.

The UC246LFA is suited for potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications. It is commonly installed in residential water supply systems, radiant floor heating loops, and other closed-loop hydronic circuits where PEX tubing is the primary pipe material. The fitting ships individually and is sold in a minimum quantity of 6 units per order. Its low-profile barb design makes it straightforward to install in tight spaces within wall cavities, mechanical rooms, or under-slab applications.
