BestPEX Brass PEX Drop Ear Elbow | 1/2" Barb x 1/2" FPT, 3-Ear Mount

Drop ear elbows solve a common PEX headache: giving a fitting something solid to mount to so it doesn't flex or leak at the connection. This BestPEX elbow has a three-ear flange you can screw to a stud or backing board, with a 1/2" barb on one side for PEX tubing and a 1/2" female pipe thread on the other for a faucet or valve.

• Brass drop ear elbow for PEX plumbing runs
• 1/2" barb inlet x 1/2" FPT outlet
• Three-ear mounting flange for a secure, rigid connection
• Works with copper crimp rings or stainless steel PEX clamps
• Lead-free construction

A crimp ring or clamp is sold separately, so have one on hand before you start the install.
