Sharkbite U286LFA 3/4 in Push Fit X Mnpt 90 Degree Elbow 12 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U286LFA is a 3/4 inch push-fit by male NPT (MNPT) 90-degree elbow fitting designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It accepts 3/4 inch copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe on the push-fit end and threads directly into a female NPT port on the other. Stainless steel gripping teeth bite down and lock the pipe in place while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to form a watertight seal. No soldering, glue, clamps, or unions are required. This bulk pack contains 12 fittings. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting wherever a directional change is needed at a threaded female connection point.

The U286LFA is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. It is commonly used in residential new construction and retrofit applications where access is limited or where soldering is not practical. The push-fit end accepts copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe in any combination, making it versatile across mixed-material plumbing systems. When removal is needed, a standard SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tool releases the fitting quickly so it can be repositioned or reused.
