Sharkbite UAB256LFA Barb Pex Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UAB256LFA is a barb-style PEX elbow fitting designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This elbow connects PEX tubing at a 90-degree angle, redirecting flow within water supply lines. The barb connection style is compatible with standard PEX crimp or clamp installation methods, making it a straightforward component for plumbers working on new construction or retrofit projects. At 0.204 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation in tight spaces such as wall cavities or utility chases.

This fitting is suited for potable water distribution systems where PEX tubing is the pipe material of choice. It is commonly installed in residential new construction, remodeling, and repair applications. Plumbers use barb-style fittings like this one when working with PEX-A, PEX-B, or PEX-C tubing runs that require a directional change. The compact form factor makes it practical in confined rough-in locations.

Use a properly sized PEX crimp ring or clamp ring with the appropriate crimp or clamp tool to secure the barb fitting to the tubing. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
