Sharkbite u280lf 1/2 in Push-fit Mnpt 90 Elbow Lf Brass

Product Description

The SHARKBITE u280lf is a lead-free brass 90-degree elbow fitting that combines a push-fit inlet with a male NPT threaded outlet in a 1/2-inch nominal size. The push-fit end accepts copper, PEX, or CPVC pipe without soldering, clamps, or adhesive. Stainless steel gripping teeth lock onto the pipe on insertion while a compressed O-ring forms a watertight seal. The fitting is rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F, making it suitable for both domestic hot and cold water distribution lines. A disconnect tool allows the fitting to be released and reused, and the body can be rotated after assembly to ease positioning in tight spaces.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a push-fit copper, PEX, or CPVC supply line must transition to a male NPT threaded connection. Typical scenarios include connecting supply lines to angle stops, valves, or threaded fittings in water distribution systems. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact. It is installed by licensed plumbers and qualified plumbing technicians working on water supply systems.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch copper, PEX, or CPVC pipe on the push-fit end and any standard 1/2-inch male NPT threaded connection on the outlet. Suitable for potable water supply applications requiring lead-free fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before fitting installation.
