PEX brass compression fitting elbow

IFAN PEX compression fitting, nickel-plated brass, durable and safe, non-toxic material, protects every moment of warmth and peace of mind at home.

A PEX brass compression fitting elbow is a specific type of plumbing fitting used in PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping systems. Here’s a breakdown of what this fitting is and its purpose:

Material

It’s made of brass, which is a common choice due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and suitability for compression fittings.

Compression Fitting:

This means it uses a compression mechanism to secure the PEX pipe. Compression fittings typically consist of a nut and a ferrule (also known as an olive or ring) that compresses tightly around the pipe when the nut is tightened.

Elbow Shape

The elbow shape indicates that it allows for a change in direction of the PEX pipe, typically at a 90-degree angle, though other angles (like 45 degrees) are also available.

Application

Used primarily in plumbing systems where PEX piping is used, such as in residential and commercial buildings. Elbow fittings are essential for routing PEX pipes around corners and obstacles while maintaining a continuous flow.

Installation

Installation of a PEX brass compression fitting elbow involves inserting the PEX pipe into the fitting,.To ensure it’s fully seated, then tightening the compression nut securely onto the fitting to create a watertight seal. Proper tools, such as a PEX cutter and a compression sleeve tool, may be required for installation.

These fittings are popular due to their ease of installation and reliability in PEX plumbing systems, offering flexibility and durability in various applications.
