Sioux Chief 632X222 1/2" PEX Barb x FTG Copper Transition Elbow

Sioux Chief 632X222 1/2" PEX Barb x FTG Copper Transition Elbow

The Sioux Chief 632X222 is a 1/2" PEX barb x 1/2" FTG transition elbow built as a one-piece solid copper fitting, designed to join PEX tubing directly to copper fittings in behind-the-wall rough-in plumbing. One end accepts PEX tube for a crimp or cinch connection while the FTG end solders into copper pipe or fittings, making this a practical multipurpose sweat x PEX elbow for tight rough-in spaces. It is commonly installed as a tub/shower valve connector where a compact, corrosion-resistant transition fitting is needed between PEX supply lines and copper stub-outs, and it is manufactured in the United States and supplied in bulk case packaging for distributors and plumbing contractors.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1/2" PEX barb x 1/2" FTG, sized for standard residential and light-commercial rough-in supply lines.
• One-Piece Solid Copper Construction: A single solid-copper body eliminates extra joints, reducing potential leak points at the PEX-to-copper transition.
• PEX Barb End: Accepts PEX tubing for a crimp ring or cinch clamp connection (rings and clamps sold separately).
• FTG (Fitting) End: Sized to solder directly into copper fittings for a standard sweat connection, so no extra adapter is needed to move from PEX to copper.
• Multipurpose Transition: Functions as a general-purpose sweat x PEX elbow anywhere a PEX-to-copper direction change is needed in a rough-in run.
• Tub/Shower Connector: Sized and configured for use as a tub or shower valve connection point behind the finished wall.
• Bulk Case Packaging: Packed 1000 EA per case, suited to distributor stock and high-volume contractor rough-in work.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds this 632X222 elbow from one-piece solid copper rather than a multi-part assembly, giving installers a durable, corrosion-resistant transition fitting for joining PEX and copper systems behind the wall. The combination of a PEX barb end and an FTG sweat end in a single fitting lets plumbers make a clean, compact PEX-to-copper transition without stacking multiple fittings in a tight rough-in cavity. For plumbers and contractors standardizing on Sioux Chief rough-in parts, this elbow provides a dependable, code-familiar sweat x PEX connection for tub/shower and general supply-line transitions, and its 1000 EA case packaging supports steady distributor and job-site restocking.
