Sharkbite UC256LFA10 3/4 in Brass Barb Insert Elbow 10 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME UC256LFA10 is a lead-free brass barb insert elbow designed to connect two pieces of 3/4-inch cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing at a 90-degree angle. Sold in a 10-pack, this fitting is intended for potable water systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is constructed from lead-free brass with a wetted surface containing less than 0.25% lead by weight, meeting California AB1953 and Vermont VT S152 low-lead restrictions. The fitting is immediately testable to well over 100 psi once installed, supporting efficient inspection workflows on the job.

This elbow is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where PEX tubing is used for hot or cold potable water distribution. The barb ends are secured to PEX pipe using cinch clamps with a compatible cinch tool or copper crimp rings with a crimp tool. It is a practical choice for rough-in plumbing, fixture supply lines, and hydronic distribution systems where a 90-degree directional change is required in 3/4-inch PEX runs.
