The SharkBite UP532A5 Poly Alloy Swivel PEX Elbow is a five-pack of 90-degree crimp elbows designed to connect PEX or PE-RT tubing to male threaded pipe connections. These fittings provide a reliable, corrosion-resistant solution for both potable water and hydronic heating system applications, allowing you to quickly transition from flexible PEX pipe to rigid threaded plumbing without soldering, glue, or special tools.
Each elbow features a 1/2-inch barb inlet and 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded outlet, making it compatible with standard residential plumbing sizes. The poly alloy construction delivers strong, durable performance across a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
