Rwc UC532LFA 1/2 in Barb X Fpt 90 Deg Brass Swivel Pex Elbow

Product Description

The RWC UC532LFA is a 1/2-inch barb by 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) 90-degree brass swivel PEX elbow designed for fast, reliable connections between PEX tubing and female-threaded ports. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing stress on the tubing and making it easier to align in tight spaces. Built from brass, this elbow is suitable for potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems. It is sold individually and installed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical contractors working on residential or light commercial piping.

This fitting is used where PEX tubing must transition to a threaded female connection at a 90-degree angle. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution lines and in-floor or baseboard hydronic heating circuits. The barb end accepts standard 1/2-inch PEX tubing and is compatible with both stainless steel clamp ring systems and copper crimp ring systems, with clamp rings and crimp rings each sold separately.
