Sharkbite UP248A5 1/2 Inch Poly Pex 90 Degree Elbow 5 Pack

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME UP248A5 is a 1/2 inch poly PEX 90-degree elbow fitting sold in a 5-pack. The alloy barb construction provides a secure mechanical connection when used with a stainless steel clamp system or a copper crimp ring system. This fitting is designed for plumbers and pipefitters who need a cost-effective, reliable method to change direction in PEX tubing runs without soldering or special press tools. The barb-style design seats firmly into compatible PEX tubing, and the 90-degree angle makes it well suited for tight spaces and wall penetrations in both residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

The UP248A5 is intended for potable water distribution systems and hydronic heating applications. It is commonly installed in new construction and retrofit projects where PEX tubing is the primary piping material. The fitting works within stainless steel clamp (pinch clamp) systems and copper crimp ring systems, giving installers flexibility depending on the tools already on the job. The 5-pack quantity reduces trips to the supply counter on multi-outlet jobs.
