Sharkbite UR648A 45 Degree Brass Push Elbow

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UR648A is a 45-degree brass push-to-connect elbow fitting designed for fast, tool-free copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe connections. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or gluing, making it a practical choice for repairs and new installations where speed and reliability matter. Weighing 0.164 pounds, this compact elbow accepts pipe on both ends using the standard SharkBite push-fit mechanism. It is suited for plumbers and pipe fitters working on residential and light commercial water supply systems.

This fitting is used wherever a 45-degree directional change is needed in a water supply line. Typical applications include tight-space rough-in work, retrofit repairs around existing framing, and situations where open flame is restricted or impractical. The push-to-connect design is compatible with standard pipe sizes as specified by the manufacturer. Both ends accept push-fit connections, allowing the installer to mix pipe types within the same run where the fitting is rated to do so.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before inserting pipe into the fitting. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred, and confirm the pipe is fully seated to the depth mark before pressurizing the system. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified by the manufacturer for the installed pipe type.
