Sioux Chief 642WP2 1/2" F1960 PEX 90° Elbow
The Sioux Chief 642WP2 is a 1/2" x 1/2" 90° elbow fitting built for PEX tubing systems using the ASTM F1960 cold expansion connection method. This plastic elbow is engineered as a full-flow fitting, meaning there is no internal restriction at the bend, allowing water to pass through at the same flow rate as straight PEX tubing. Designed for behind-the-wall rough-in plumbing applications, this fitting mates directly with 1/2" PEX tubing and is installed using an F1960 expansion tool and compatible expander rings, rather than crimp rings or clamps. The 90° bend allows plumbers to redirect PEX runs around corners, through wall cavities, and into fixture connections without kinking the tubing, which can restrict flow or damage the tubing wall over time.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/2" x 1/2" connection sized for standard 1/2" PEX tubing runs in residential and light commercial rough-in.
- Full-Flow Design: No internal restriction at the 90° bend, preserving water flow rate through the fitting compared to standard reduced-bore elbows.
- 90° Elbow Configuration: Allows PEX tubing to change direction cleanly behind walls and in tight framing cavities without kinking the tube.
- F1960 Connection Method: Engineered for the ASTM F1960 cold-expansion PEX connection system, requiring an expansion tool and compatible expander rings rather than crimping.
- Durable Plastic Construction: Molded plastic body suited for concealed rough-in use behind walls, under floors, and in mechanical chases.
- Bulk Packaging: Supplied in case quantities of 625 EA, suited for plumbing contractors and distributors stocking high-volume PEX rough-in jobs.
