This SharkBite poly alloy PEX barb elbow is a 90-degree reducing connector designed for joining crosslink polyethylene (PEX) tubing in hot and cold water lines. The 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch fitting reduces pipe diameter while changing direction, making it ideal for new installations, repairs, and system modifications.
The barb-insert design attaches to PEX tubing using copper crimp rings or stainless steel cinch clamps. The poly alloy construction is corrosion resistant and will not rust or degrade, providing long service life. After installation, the fitting can be tested to well over 100 PSI, ensuring a reliable connection.
