Sharkbite U2276LFA 1/4x3/4 Dishwasher Elbow Lead Free

Product Description

The SharkBite U2276LFA is a lead-free dishwasher elbow fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Sized at 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch, this push-fit elbow uses SharkBite's proven push-to-connect mechanism, eliminating the need for soldering, clamps, or unions. The fitting is constructed of DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass and is rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both hot and cold potable water lines. An integral tube liner is included, making it compatible with PEX tubing without a separate insert tool.

This elbow is intended for use in dishwasher supply line applications where a directional change is needed between the supply valve and the appliance connection. It is compatible with copper tubing (CTS), CPVC, and PEX pipe. The push-fit design is commonly installed by licensed plumbers during appliance hookups, remodels, or service calls where quick connection and leak-free performance are required. The fitting ships bagged in a package quantity of six units.
