Sharkbite/cash Acme U656LFA 45 Degree Push-to-connect Elbow

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME U656LFA is a 3/4-inch push-to-connect 45-degree elbow fitting designed for potable water and radiant heating systems. It accepts any combination of copper, PEX, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe, allowing transitions between pipe types without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. The fitting seals via a specially formulated O-ring when the pipe is inserted to the required depth. Rated to 200 degrees F and 200 psi, this fitting is well-suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC techs install this fitting for both new construction and retrofit applications where access panels are not feasible or desired.

The U656LFA is intended for applications where a 90-degree bend is too sharp for the routing path. It is commonly used in hard piping runs for domestic water supply, hydronic radiant heating loops, and similar closed or open potable water systems. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for torch work or solvent welding, making it appropriate for tight spaces and no-flame environments. Compatible pipe types include copper, PEX, CPVC, and PE-RT in 3/4-inch nominal size. Package quantity is 6 fittings per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or removing the fitting. Ensure the pipe end is cut square, deburred, and inserted to the full depth required to engage the O-ring seal. Do not exceed the rated 200 psi or 200 degrees F service limits.
