Uponor q4760500 F1960 Pex 1/2 Inch 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The UPONOR q4760500 is an all-plastic cold expansion 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use with 1/2 inch F1960 PEX piping systems. This fitting joins PEX tubing at a right angle using the cold expansion method, where the tubing end and fitting are expanded before the fitting is inserted, creating a reliable, leak-resistant connection as the material returns to its original diameter. Its all-plastic construction makes it suitable for applications where metal fittings may present corrosion or compatibility concerns. Licensed plumbers and PEX installation contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

This elbow is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 1/2 inch PEX-a tubing that meets the ASTM F1960 standard. It is commonly used in potable water distribution, radiant heating, and general plumbing rough-in work where directional changes in the piping run are required. The cold expansion connection method is compatible with PEX-a tubing only and requires the appropriate expansion tool and ring for proper installation.

Key Features

• All-plastic construction eliminates corrosion and reduces potential for metallic leaching in potable water applications
• Cold expansion design meets ASTM F1960 standard requirements for PEX-a tubing connections
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows clean directional transitions within tight framing or mechanical chase installations
• 1/2 inch fitting size fits standard half-inch PEX-a tubing used widely in residential plumbing
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, minimizing load impact in wall and ceiling assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch PEX-a tubing conforming to ASTM F1960. The cold expansion connection method requires PEX-a tubing specifically and is not compatible with PEX-b or PEX-c tubing types.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for PEX systems. Before beginning work, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely. A compatible F1960 cold expansion tool and the correct size expansion ring are required to properly expand the tubing end before inserting the fitting. Allow adequate time for the expanded PEX-a tubing to recover around the fitting shoulder before pressurizing the system.
