Sharkbite UAB274LFA Barb Pex Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UAB274LFA is a barb PEX elbow fitting designed for use in plumbing systems where a directional change is required in flexible PEX tubing runs. This fitting connects to PEX pipe via a barbed interface, providing a secure mechanical connection when properly crimped or clamped according to the applicable installation method. It is a single-unit fitting suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of component.

This barb PEX elbow is appropriate for potable water distribution systems, radiant heating installations, and other plumbing applications that use flexible PEX tubing. The elbow configuration allows piping to change direction without the need for a soldered or threaded joint, simplifying rough-in work in tight spaces or around framing obstacles. It is sold individually and is suitable for new construction and retrofit plumbing projects.

Key Features

• Barb-style connection for use with PEX tubing and compatible crimp or clamp tools

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing piping. Use the appropriate PEX crimp or clamp tool rated for the fitting size to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten or force the barb into tubing that does not match the fitting diameter.
