SharkBite UXL8 Push-to-Connect 90-Degree Elbow, DZR Brass
The SharkBite UXL8 large-diameter push-to-connect 90-degree elbow is built for fast, no-solder transitions between PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE pipe in any combination. Available in 1-1/4-In, 1-1/2-In, and 2-In CTS sizes, this family of fittings uses a low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body with stainless steel gripping teeth and a chlorine-resistant O-ring to form a secure, watertight joint without soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools. Every size in the family is rated to 200 degrees F and 200 PSI, approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panel required, and can be pressure tested immediately after installation.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: 1-1/4-In, 1-1/2-In, and 2-In CTS for large-diameter rough-in plumbing runs.
- Durable Construction: Low-lead DZR corrosion-resistant brass body for long-term reliability across the entire size range.
- Push-to-Connect Design: Stainless steel gripping teeth bite down on the pipe while a chlorine-resistant O-ring compresses for a watertight seal - no soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools needed.
- Rotatable & Removable: Fitting can be rotated after installation for easy alignment changes, and removed with a large-diameter disconnect tool (UXLDC35, UXLDC41, UXLDC54) for reuse, matched to the size installed.
- Wet or Dry Line Installation: Installs on wet or dry lines and can be pressure tested immediately, with no waiting on soldered joints to cool or solvents to dry.
- Pressure & Temperature Rating: Rated to 200 degrees F and 200 PSI across all sizes in the family.
- PEX Compatibility: When connecting to PEX pipe, a stiffener (SBTL35, SBTL41, SBTL54) sized to match the fitting is required.
- Underground & Behind-the-Wall Use: Approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panel required (wrapping required when burying underground).
