3PCS LF Brass 1/2 Inch PEX Barb To 1/2 NPT Female 90 Degree Elbow Fittings With Drop Ear

About This Product

Plumbers and DIYers, these brass PEX fittings are exactly what you need for those tricky plumbing connections! You get three lead-free brass elbow couplings that connect 1/2 inch PEX tubing to standard 1/2 inch NPT female threaded components. The 90-degree angle is perfect for making smooth turns in your plumbing runs, reducing turbulence and maintaining good water flow. What's really handy is the drop ear design - it gives you that extra mounting point to secure the fitting firmly in place, which is especially useful in tight spaces or when you need to prevent stress on the connections. These are made from solid brass that's strong, corrosion-resistant, and rated for 200??F and 200 PSI, so they'll handle residential and commercial applications without issues. Installation is straightforward - they work with all types and brands of PEX tubing and can be used with stainless steel clamp rings or copper crimp rings (though those aren't included, so make sure you have your PEX crimp tool ready). The barbed ends create a solid, leak-free connection when properly crimped, and since there's no need for flame, flux, or solder, the installation is cleaner and faster. I've used these for both plumbing systems and hydronic heating applications, and they've held up perfectly with no leaks. The quality of the brass machining is excellent - smooth threads, precise barbs, and consistent sizing across all three fittings. Just remember to cut your PEX pipe cleanly and squarely for the best connection, and make sure your clamps are tightened properly. Whether you're doing a bathroom remodel, fixing existing plumbing, or installing new lines, having these 90-degree elbows in your toolkit makes those directional changes so much easier and more professional looking. They're one of those plumbing parts that just work exactly as they should every time.
