Rwc UC260LFA Sharkbite 1 in Barb 90 Degree Brass Pex Elbow

Product Description

The RWC UC260LFA is a 1-inch by 1-inch barb 90-degree elbow fitting designed for PEX tubing connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Constructed from lead-free DZR brass, this fitting provides a directional change in PEX runs without the need for specialized press tools. It installs using either a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system, giving installers flexibility to work with whatever crimping or clamping method is already on the truck. Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372, it meets lead-free requirements for potable water contact. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a compact, low-profile fitting suited to tight spaces.

This elbow is appropriate for potable water distribution lines and hydronic heating applications. Plumbers and pipefitters installing PEX rough-in systems will encounter this fitting in branch-line turns, closet bends, and header connections. It performs in both open-wall new construction and retrofit repiping work where a 90-degree change of direction is needed at a 1-inch line size. The barb design requires a compatible clamp or crimp ring and tool set to achieve a rated connection, each sold separately.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing PEX run. A properly sized barb crimping tool or clamp tool rated for the ring type being used is required to achieve a leak-free connection. Inspect the barb seat and tubing cut end for burrs or deformation before seating the fitting.
