Uponor LF2885050 90 Degree Pex Brass Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The UPONOR LF2885050 is a 90-degree elbow fitting designed to transition between 1/2-inch PEX tubing and 1/2-inch copper pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets current safe-drinking-water requirements for potable water applications. The PEX-to-copper (PEX x C) connection style accommodates PEX expansion or crimp installations on one end and a standard sweat-solder copper connection on the other. Licensed plumbers and PEX-certified installers use this fitting when routing domestic water lines around corners or transitioning between tubing materials within a single run.

This elbow is suited for domestic hot and cold potable water distribution in residential construction, remodel work, and light commercial projects. The 90-degree angle makes it a practical choice in tight framing bays, mechanical rooms, and utility chases where straight runs are not possible. Its lead-free brass construction satisfies NSF and state-level plumbing code requirements for fittings in contact with drinking water. Installers working with Uponor PEX systems will find this fitting a direct-fit component for standard 1/2-inch distribution lines.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in PEX and copper plumbing runs
• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water standards for potable water contact
• PEX x C (PEX-to-copper sweat) end configuration enables direct material transitions
• 1/2-inch size fits standard residential water distribution line sizing
• Domestically sourced fitting for projects requiring domestic-origin components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation fitting for 1/2-inch PEX-to-copper transition points in residential and light commercial potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or disassembling any existing piping. The copper sweat end requires proper flux application, appropriate solder, and a propane or MAP-gas torch; the PEX end requires the correct expansion or crimp tool sized for 1/2-inch fittings. Do not overtighten or force connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
