Plastic barbed 90-degree reducing elbow that steps PEX tubing down from 3/4" to 1/2" while changing direction. Uses copper crimp rings (sold separately) on each end to form secure, leak-free joints with PEX tubing. Suitable for residential PEX plumbing including hot and cold water distribution lines.

• Meets ASTM F2159 for plastic insert PEX fittings
• Rated 100 PSI at 180 deg F and 160 PSI at 73 deg F -- suitable for hot and cold water distribution
• Compatible with copper PEX crimp rings or stainless steel cinch clamps
• Lower cost and lighter than brass; no risk of dezincification
• 2 elbows per bag

Installation Tip: Use the correct crimp ring size for each end -- 3/4" ring on the 3/4" side, 1/2" ring on the 1/2" side. Slide the ring on first, push the PEX fully onto the barb until it bottoms, position the ring 1/8" to 1/4" from the tube end, and crimp with a calibrated PEX crimp tool. Tug-test before pressurizing.

Note: Eliminates the need for a separate reducer coupling plus elbow -- saves space and one joint in tight runs (under cabinets, in joist bays). Support plastic fittings with hangers in long horizontal runs.
