When you need a precise, space-saving transition from expansion PEX (PEX-A) to standard PEX, the Apollo Expansion PEX-to-PEX Brass 90-Degree Elbow delivers a dependable, leak-resistant turn. Built from lead-free brass and engineered for domestic water applications, this 1 in. elbow is a purpose-built solution for tight installs and retrofit projects.
Why this Apollo elbow stands out
-
Lead-free brass construction combines durability with safe, corrosion-resistant performance for drinking water systems.
-
1 in. expansion PEX end accepts expansion PEX (PEX-A) tubing, enabling a secure, solder-free connection via your expansion tooling.
-
1 in. PEX end accommodates standard PEX runs, allowing seamless integration with existing PEX networks using the appropriate joining method for the PEX side.
-
90-degree design provides a clean, compact turn in tight spaces, reducing the need for extra fittings and potential leak points.
-
Reliable performance rated for up to 200 psi and up to 200°F, making it suitable for most residential water systems and radiant heating circuits.
-
ANSI certified assurance of quality, compatibility, and consistent manufacturing standards.
-
Single-piece, bagged packaging simplifies handling and reduces the chance of lost or missing components on job sites.
Use cases
- Transition from expansion PEX-A lines to standard PEX runs in cramped under-sink spaces, behind walls, or inside cabinets.
- Retrofit projects where existing PEX networks need a precise, angle-by-angle change of direction without bulky fittings.
- Appliance hookups or supply lines that require a compact elbow to navigate around obstacles or framing.
- Radiant floor heating loops that benefit from a clean 90° turn to maintain flow and pressure balance.
Installation tips
Plan the orientation to minimize stress on tubing and fittings. On the expansion PEX-A side, use Apollo’s expansion tool to properly seat the tubing before sliding it onto the elbow. On the PEX side, attach using the standard joining method appropriate for your PEX system (crimp, clamp, or another approved technique). After assembly, pressurize the line and check for leaks, especially at the elbow joints, to ensure a secure seal.
