Rwc UC248LFA 1/2 in Barb 90 Degree Brass Pex Elbow

Product Description

The RWC UC248LFA is a 1/2-inch barb by 1/2-inch barb 90-degree PEX elbow fitting manufactured from lead-free DZR brass. It connects PEX tubing at a right angle in potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems. The fitting meets ASTM F1807 standards and carries NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 certifications, confirming suitability for drinking water contact. Licensed plumbers and hydronic heating technicians install this fitting as part of a clamp or crimp ring system. It is sold individually and weighs approximately 0.059 pounds.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial PEX piping installations where a 90-degree direction change is needed. It is compatible with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, with the clamp or crimp rings sold separately. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines and closed-loop hydronic heating circuits where PEX tubing is the distribution medium.
