Sharkbite U248LFA4 90 Degree Push-to-connect Elbow 1/2 in 4pk

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U248LFA4 is a 90-degree push-to-connect elbow fitting sold in a 4-pack for 1/2-inch pipe. It creates watertight joints on copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe in any combination without soldering, gluing, or clamping. Internal stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe on insertion, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form a leak-free seal. The fitting can also be rotated after assembly, making it practical for tight spaces where alignment is difficult. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipe fitters are the primary installers, though the tool-free design is straightforward for any qualified trade professional working on water supply or hydronic heating systems.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It performs in potable water supply lines and hydronic heating systems. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for open flame or solvent cement, which is an advantage in retrofit, repair, and new-construction scenarios where torch access is limited or restricted by code. A compatible disconnect tool allows the fitting to be removed and reused without damaging the pipe or fitting body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting into existing pipe. Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion to ensure the O-ring and grab teeth seat properly. Use a manufacturer-compatible disconnect tool if the fitting needs to be removed — do not attempt removal without the proper tool, as this may damage the fitting or pipe end.
