1/2 in. PEX x 3/4 in. Male Sweat 90-Degree Reducing Elbow for 3/4" Copper Pipe Fitting (NSF Lead Free DZR Brass F1807 PEX Crimp Fitting)

The 247Garden 1/2 in. PEX x 3/4 in. Male Sweat 90-Degree Reducing Elbow is a premium plumbing fitting designed to provide a reliable 90-degree transition from 1/2 in. PEX tubing to 3/4 in. female copper fittings. The male sweat end is engineered to insert into 3/4 in. female copper fittings, while the PEX end accommodates a 1/2 in. PEX crimp connection, allowing a secure and leak-resistant joint. Constructed from lead-free DeZincification Resistant (DZR) brass and NSF certified, this fitting meets ASTM F1807 standards, ensuring durability and safe performance in potable water systems and hydronic heating applications.

Key Features and Benefits:

• PEX Connection: 1/2 in. PEX crimp-compatible barb for a tight seal using PEX crimp rings (sold separately).

• Copper Connection: 3/4 in. male sweat designed to insert into standard 3/4 in. female copper fittings for soldered joints.

• Durable Construction: Lead-free DZR brass ensures corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term reliability.

• Certified and Safe: NSF certified, compliant with ASTM F1807/F2159 standards, UPC, IPC, and cUPC approved.

• Temperature and Pressure Ratings: Rated for up to 200°F and 200 PSI for hot and cold water applications.

• Package Includes: 1 reducing elbow fitting; PEX crimp rings and tools sold separately.

Installation Tips – Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Prepare the 3/4 in. Female Copper Fitting

• Clean the inside of the female copper fitting with a wire brush or emery cloth to remove oxidation and debris.

Step 2: Apply Flux and Solder

• Apply a thin layer of lead-free flux to the male sweat end and the inside of the 3/4 in. female fitting.

• Heat evenly with a propane torch until the flux bubbles.

• Touch lead-free solder to the joint and allow it to flow via capillary action, forming a secure, leak-proof connection.

• Allow the joint to cool naturally.

Step 3: Prepare the 1/2 in. PEX Pipe

• Slide a PEX crimp ring over the end of the 1/2 in. PEX pipe.

• Fully insert the pipe onto the PEX barb fitting.

Step 4: Crimp the PEX Connection

• Use a compatible PEX crimp tool to secure the ring.

• Verify the crimp with a go/no-go gauge if available.

Applications:
Ideal for potable water distribution, hydronic heating systems, and plumbing projects requiring a 90-degree reducing transition from 1/2 in. PEX to 3/4 in. female copper fittings.
