1 inch Sharkbite Push Fitting 45 Degree Elbow Sharkkbite x Sharkbite

1" Push-Fit 45° Elbow – Lead-Free Brass Fitting for Directional Changes in Potable Water Systems

The 1" Push-Fit 45° Elbow is a mechanical plumbing fitting designed to create a 45-degree directional change in rigid tubing systems, including copper, CPVC, and PEX. This fitting is manufactured from lead-free brass and incorporates an internal grab ring and O-ring seal to provide a secure, tool-free connection suitable for potable water distribution in residential and commercial systems.

Engineered for use in systems where soldering or solvent welding is not practical, this push-to-connect elbow allows for rapid installation and is suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications. It complies with pressure and temperature ratings required under national plumbing codes and is certified for permanent installation in potable water systems.

Performance Features

• ✅ Tool-Free Connection – Push-fit design enables mechanical joining without the use of heat, adhesives, or special tools.
• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Body – Manufactured in compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for use in drinking water systems.
• ✅ Integrated Seal System – EPDM O-ring and stainless steel grip ring ensure a watertight, secure connection with minimal insertion force.
• ✅ Demountable Design – Fitting can be disconnected and reused with compatible release tools (per manufacturer guidelines).
• ✅ Compatible Materials – Suitable for use with ASTM B88 copper, CPVC (CTS), and PEX tubing (ASTM F876/F877).

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the pipe is cut square, deburred, and free from surface contamination. Mark insertion depth per fitting specification. Fully insert the pipe into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. Use manufacturer-approved depth gauges and disconnect clips if removal or adjustment is required. Follow all local plumbing codes and product-specific instructions to confirm installation suitability.

Application Use

This fitting is commonly installed in potable water supply lines, branch offsets, and confined-space directional transitions where thermal joining is impractical. It is suitable for behind-wall and inaccessible locations when installed in accordance with plumbing code and product certification listings.

Material Note

Lead-free brass push-fit fittings provide chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term performance under potable water operating conditions. They are rated for full-pressure use and allow fast installation in multi-material systems without the need for additional transition fittings.
