Rwc UC274LFA Brass Pex Barb 90 Degree Elbow 1/2x3/4 Inch

Product Description

The RWC UC274LFA is a lead-free DZR brass PEX barb elbow designed to connect PEX tubing at a 90-degree angle. This fitting serves as a low-cost, reliable solution for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a directional change is required in a PEX run. The lead-free DZR brass construction meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 standards for use in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using either a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system. The inlet is 1/2 inch and the outlet is 3/4 inch, making it suitable for transitional sizing within a distribution system.

This elbow fitting is approved for potable water distribution and hydronic heating applications. It is compatible with both stainless steel clamp systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility in their preferred connection method. The fitting is sold individually and clamp or crimp tools and rings are sold separately. Typical install scenarios include branch runs, boiler distribution loops, and residential water supply lines where a 90-degree directional change between differing tube sizes is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing PEX run. Use the appropriate crimp or clamp tool rated for the tubing size to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten or modify the barb profile, as this can compromise the seal integrity.
