1/4 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting x 3/4 inch Dishwasher 90 Degree Elbow Sharkbite x Female

1/4" x 3/4" FGH Lead-Free Push-to-Connect Elbow – Transition Fitting for Water Supply Systems

The 1/4 inch x 3/4 inch Female Garden Hose (FGH) Lead-Free Push-to-Connect Elbow is a compact, 90-degree transition fitting used to join 1/4" tubing to a 3/4" garden hose thread in potable water systems. This fitting combines a push-to-connect inlet with a threaded FGH outlet, offering a tool-free solution for adapting supply lines in residential applications.

Manufactured from lead-free DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, this elbow conforms to applicable standards for use in potable water systems. It is suitable for behind-wall and exposed installations in accordance with local plumbing codes.

• ASSE 1061: Performance standard for push-fit fittings
• CSA B125.3: Plumbing fitting performance requirements

Installation Guidelines

Cut the tubing squarely and ensure it is free of burrs and debris. Insert the tube into the push-to-connect end until it reaches the insertion mark. The FGH end threads directly onto a standard 3/4" hose bib or appliance inlet. For disassembly, use the compatible disconnect clip or tool per manufacturer specification. This fitting is suitable for permanent or temporary installations where threaded garden hose interfaces are required.

Common Use Cases

Designed for potable water distribution and appliance connections, this elbow is frequently used to transition from 1/4" tubing to hose bibbs or garden hose thread in water filtration systems, beverage dispensing units, and residential supply lines where a 90-degree turn is necessary to manage clearance or directional flow.

Material Note

DZR brass construction provides resistance to dezincification in aggressive water conditions, extending fitting life and maintaining mechanical integrity in long-term service applications.

The 1/4" x 3/4" FGH Lead-Free Push-to-Connect Elbow offers a secure, tool-free method for adapting tubing to hose thread connections in potable systems. Its code-compliant construction and ease of installation make it a practical solution for professionals requiring quick and durable transitions in tight or retrofit spaces.
