Designed for use exclusively with PEX-A pipe, this fitting uses the expansion connection method, requiring a PEX expansion tool and compatible expansion rings to complete the joint. Once expanded and released, the fitting memory contracts around the pipe, creating a joint that strengthens over time. The UA248A5 is approved for potable water service lines and burial applications, including installation within concrete encasements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX-A piping systems are specified. It is commonly used when routing water supply lines through walls, floors, or underground service runs. The 90-degree geometry makes it appropriate for directional changes in tight spaces. Because it is approved for burial and concrete encasement, it is well-suited for slab-on-grade construction and direct-bury water service line installations. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of expansion fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only — not suitable for PEX-B or PEX-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpansion connection method produces a joint that strengthens over time as pipe memory contracts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for water service lines and burial applications, including concrete encasement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in plumbing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePoly construction suitable for corrosive environments and underground installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 5-pack for multi-fitting service calls or staged installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with PEX-A pipe only.

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work.
