Installation Tip: Slide a copper crimp ring onto the tubing first, push the PEX fully onto the elbow barb until it bottoms, then position the ring 1/8" to 1/4" from the tube end and crimp with a calibrated PEX crimp tool. Tug-test the joint before pressurizing.

Note: Support plastic elbows with hangers in long horizontal runs to prevent stress on the fitting body. Keep PEX fittings out of direct UV exposure -- enclose them in walls or insulate if installed in vented attics.
