Boshart BPF-E No-Lead Brass Push-Fit Elbow, Copper/CPVC/PEX
The Boshart BPF-E No-Lead Push-Fit Elbow is a brass push-fit fitting designed for potable water and hydronic heating systems in new residential and commercial construction, as well as repair work. It connects copper, CPVC and PEX tube in any combination without soldering, flux, clamps, unions or glue, making it a fast, tool-free solution for tight or hard-to-drain spaces behind walls, underground, or in wet and hazardous repair conditions. The BPF-E is available across a range of tube sizes from 3/8" (0.5" O.D.) through 1" (1.125" O.D.), including a 3/4" (0.875" O.D.) option, so rough-in plumbers can standardize on a single no-lead fitting family for mixed-material jobs. Every size in the family shares the same brass body, push-fit connection, and no-lead compliance for potable water use.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: Offered for tube sizes 3/8" (0.5" O.D.) through 1" (1.125" O.D.), including 3/4" (0.875" O.D.), to match common rough-in tube diameters.
- Durable Construction: Brass body across the entire size range for corrosion resistance and long service life in concealed and wet-location installations.
- Push-Fit Connection: Tool-free push-fit design eliminates the need for soldering, flux, clamps, unions or glue, speeding up installation and reducing fire risk on the jobsite.
- Multi-Pipe Compatibility: Connects copper, CPVC and PEX pipe in any combination, giving plumbers a single fitting for mixed-material systems at every available size.
- Rotatable After Assembly: Can be rotated after installation, easing alignment in tight spaces where access is limited.

Why Boshart?
Boshart's brass push-fit elbow family gives plumbers a no-lead, tool-free connection that works across copper, CPVC and PEX pipe at every stocked size from 3/8" through 1", cutting install time on both new construction and repair calls.

Boshart BPF-E03NL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a Boshart BPF-E push-fit elbow to go from copper to PEX?
Yes. The BPF-E brass push-fit elbow accepts copper, CPVC and PEX tube in any combination, so one leg can be copper and the other PEX with no adapter in between. No solder, flux, glue, clamps or unions are needed on either side, which is why it gets used for mixed-material transitions on repair work and rough-in.
2) What sizes does the Boshart BPF-E push-fit elbow come in, and is there a reducing version?
Five configurations: 3/8 inch (0.5 inch O.D.), 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch (1.125 inch O.D.), plus a reducing 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch elbow (BPF-E0705NL). The straight sizes order as BPF-E03NL, BPF-E05NL, BPF-E07NL and BPF-E10NL. The 3/4 x 1/2 is the one to grab when you are dropping off a 3/4 inch main to a 1/2 inch branch without stacking a coupling and a bushing.
3) Is the Boshart BPF-E elbow OK for potable water lines?
It is built to no-lead standards for potable water, and Boshart lists potable water rough-in and hydronic heating connections as its intended applications. Note that the product still carries a California Prop 65 warning for lead, which is a disclosure requirement and not a change to the no-lead rating.
4) Can a push-fit elbow be buried underground or closed up behind drywall without an access panel?
The BPF-E brass push-fit elbow is approved for underground use and for behind-the-wall installation with or without an access panel. That is the main reason it gets specified over a clamped or unioned joint in a concealed cavity.
5) Can I rotate the elbow after it is pushed on to line up the next run?
Yes, the BPF-E rotates after assembly. In a tight joist bay or stud cavity you can push both ends home and then swing the elbow to aim the outlet, instead of having to dry-fit and mark first.
6) Do I need any tools or a torch to install the Boshart BPF-E?
No. It is a tool-free push-fit joint, so no torch, flux, solder, cement or crimp rings. That matters on repair calls in wet or hazardous spaces and on lines you cannot fully drain, where soldering is not realistic, and it removes the open-flame hot-work issue in an occupied building.
7) How is the Boshart BPF-E packaged if I am stocking a service truck?
Boshart packs the BPF-E push-fit elbow 6 each. The fitting is made in China. Since the same brass body and push-fit end covers copper, CPVC and PEX, a property maintenance or MRO buyer can carry the 1/2 and 3/4 inch boxes and cover most repair work on any of the three pipe types.
8) Will the same push-fit elbow work on a hydronic heat loop, not just domestic water?
Yes. Boshart lists hydronic heating system connections alongside potable water rough-in for the BPF-E brass elbow, so it can be used on both in new residential and commercial construction as well as repair work.
