Sharkbite UAB256LFA Pex-a Brass 90 Degree Elbow 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The SharkBite UAB256LFA is a 3/4-inch brass 90-degree elbow fitting designed for PEX-A pipe systems. It connects two sections of PEX-A pipe at a right angle using expansion sleeves, creating a secure, permanent joint without soldering or adhesives. The fitting is constructed from brass for durability in pressurized plumbing lines. It carries certification for use in potable water supply systems and hydronic heating applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and remodel work where PEX-A distribution lines require directional changes in walls, ceilings, or mechanical rooms.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating system installations. It is compatible with 3/4-inch PEX-A pipe and requires the appropriate PEX expansion tool and expansion sleeves to complete the connection. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution lines, radiant floor heating supply and return runs, and potable water retrofit projects where copper or other rigid piping is being replaced with PEX-A.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes in PEX-A piping runs
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and hydronic heating service
• 3/4-inch pipe size fits standard 3/4-inch PEX-A tubing
• Expansion-sleeve connection method — no soldering, open flame, or crimping tools required
• Certified for potable water and hydronic heating system use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch PEX-A pipe in potable water and hydronic heating system applications. Requires compatible PEX-A expansion sleeves and an expansion tool rated for 3/4-inch PEX-A. Not compatible with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe without appropriate adapters.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Use a calibrated PEX-A expansion tool and the correct size expansion sleeve — do not attempt to force-fit the sleeve without full expansion. Verify that expansion rings are properly seated before restoring system pressure.
