SharkBite U340LF 3/4" x 3/4" FNPT Drop Ear Elbow

The SharkBite U340LF is a 3/4" x 3/4" FNPT drop ear elbow built on the SharkBite push-fit connection system, giving plumbers and contractors a fast, code-compliant way to terminate a rough-in run at a fixture connection without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue. The push-fit side accepts copper, CTS CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination, while the 3/4" FNPT threaded outlet lets the elbow mount securely to a stud or blocking for a wall-mounted supply stop, hose bibb, or fixture connection. The fitting is certified to 200 psi and 200°F, making it suitable for both hot and cold water distribution lines behind the wall.
