Sharkbite 23070 Pex Stub Out Elbow 1/2 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE 23070 is a lead-free PEX copper stub out elbow designed for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in applications. This push-to-connect fitting transitions from PEX tubing to a rigid copper stub, providing a secure termination point at the wall for fixture supply connections. The 1/2-inch by 6-inch configuration suits standard supply line rough-in for sinks, toilets, and similar fixtures. No soldering, crimping, or special tooling is required for connection, making installation faster compared to traditional sweat or crimp methods. The lead-free construction meets current safe drinking water requirements for potable water systems.

This stub out elbow is suited for residential new construction and remodel plumbing where PEX supply runs terminate at the wall. It is commonly used in applications where a plumber needs a rigid, wall-mounted supply stub that accepts standard fixture supply lines. The push-to-connect end accommodates PEX tubing directly, while the copper stub provides a firm mounting surface. Sold in a package of 6 units, making it practical for multi-fixture rough-in projects.
