U246LFA Push-to-Connect Elbow, 90-Degree, 3/8 In., Brass

The SharkBite U246LFA is a push-to-connect elbow fitting that makes a fast, tool-free 90-degree connection to 3/8 inch copper, CPVC, PEX, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe in any combination. This fitting eliminates the need for soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools, making it ideal for new plumbing installations, repairs, and DIY projects. Simply insert the pipe and the internal stainless steel teeth bite down to grip securely while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a watertight seal.

Whether you're working on potable water supply lines or hydronic heating systems, this versatile elbow fitting delivers reliable performance without the complexity and time required by traditional soldered or glued connections. The ability to rotate the fitting after assembly makes it particularly useful when working in tight spaces or awkward angles where standard fittings would be difficult to position.
