1/2 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting 90 Degree Elbow Male x Sharkbite

1/2" x 1/2" MNPT Brass Push-to-Connect Elbow – For Transitions Between CTS and NPT Systems

The 1/2" x 1/2" MNPT Brass Push-to-Connect Elbow is a transition fitting designed to change pipe direction 90 degrees while connecting 1/2" CTS (Copper Tube Size) tubing to 1/2" Male NPT threaded components. Engineered for potable water systems, this elbow eliminates the need for soldering, glue, or mechanical fasteners, supporting rapid installation in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Constructed from lead-free DZR brass, this elbow meets national plumbing code requirements for use in drinking water lines. The push-to-connect end is compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE tubing that meets ASTM F876, F877, or related standards. The NPT male thread is machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifications, suitable for threaded valves, tees, and adapters.
