The SharkBite UC248LFA is a 1/2‑inch PEX barb × 1/2‑inch PEX barb 90‑degree elbow designed for making secure directional changes in PEX water‑distribution systems. This compact elbow provides a low‑cost, reliable method for turning PEX tubing without restricting flow, making it ideal for routing lines through walls, floor systems, and tight spaces.
Made from lead‑free DZR brass, the UC248LFA resists corrosion and scale buildup, ensuring long‑term durability in both residential and commercial plumbing. The fitting is compatible with copper crimp rings and stainless‑steel clamp rings, allowing installers to use whichever PEX connection standard their system requires. It is fully approved for both potable‑water and hydronic‑heating applications.
With its efficient full‑flow design and strong mechanical performance, the UC248LFA is a staple fitting for any PEX rough‑in, repipe work, or manifold‑based plumbing layout.
