Sharkbite U5248LFA 1/2 in Push-to-connect Elbow Drain

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U5248LFA is a 1/2-inch push-to-connect elbow drain fitting designed for fast, tool-free pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It uses a stainless steel gripping tooth ring that bites down on insertion and a chlorine-resistant O-ring that compresses to form a watertight seal. No soldering, gluing, clamps, or specialty tools are required. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters install this fitting where speed and reliability matter, and where re-work access may be limited. Sold in a package of 6 units.

The U5248LFA works with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe in any combination, making it suitable for new construction, retrofit, and repair applications. The elbow configuration directs flow at a 90-degree change of direction and is sized at 1/2 inch, fitting standard residential supply and drain rough-in scenarios. After installation, the fitting body can be rotated to adjust alignment without breaking the seal.
