3/8 in Push-Fit Elbow for Potable Water
The SharkBite U246LF is a brass push-fit elbow designed for potable water lines. Its 3/8 inch tube connections on both ends join copper, CPVC or PEX without solder, clamps or glue. The 90 degree bend changes direction in tight spaces while the push-to-connect design speeds installation for professionals and DIYers alike.
Rated for 200 psi and 200 Degrees F
The fitting handles sustained pressure up to 200 psi and continuous temperatures up to 200 Degrees F. Brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification in municipal water supplies. The joint remains secure under thermal cycling and pressure spikes typical of household plumbing systems.
Verify 3/8 in Tube OD and Local Codes
Confirm your existing tubing has a 3/8 inch outer diameter to match both push-fit ports. Check whether local plumbing codes accept push-fit fittings for the intended application. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Does the brass elbow fitting generate any noise or heat when water runs through it continuously?
The brass push-fit elbow has no moving parts, so it produces no noise or heat during continuous water flow.
What pipe or tubing must I already have for the 3/8-inch push-to-connect ends to seal properly?
You need 3/8-inch outer-diameter tubing — copper, PEX, CPVC or PE-RT — that is clean, round and free of scratches for the push-to-connect ports to grip.
Will this 200 psi brass elbow work alongside older copper plumbing that has been in place for years?
Yes, the fitting connects directly to existing 3/8-inch copper pipe without soldering, and its 200 psi rating matches typical residential supply pressures.
