1/2" PEX Crimp 90° Elbow Inlet
$18.00

Simplify installation with a secure, reliable connection.

Versatile Compatibility

Available in NPT, PEX crimp, and PEX expansion styles to fit your plumbing setup.

Leak-Free Performance

Engineered to maintain a watertight seal—even up to one rotation backward.

Durable Construction

Built from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel for dependable, long-term use.

As Easy as 1, 2, 3

1: Remove Existing Inlet

Unscrew inlet counterclockwise.

Note: Ensure the O-ring on the Hydrant body is properly seated.

2: Hand Tighten New Inlet

Hand tighten new inlet onto Hydrant body by threading clockwise.

For elbow inlets, rotate counterclockwise until the inlet is positioned in the correct direction for installation. The O-ring will keep a watertight seal up to 360° from full lock, up to 250 PSI.

Note: Never apply Teflon tape to Hydrant body threads. This may cause leaks. Only use Teflon tape on plumbing connection (fitting) threads.

3: Connect to Plumbing

Connect to plumbing, then check for leaks and test Hydrant operation.

For PEX joints, wait 10 minutes for it to shrink down and set before turning on the water.

If possible, use a PEX expansion loop for easy plumbing maintenance down the road.

Extremely well made!

I purchased this to solve a tricky installation in a crawlspace where space was limited and an elbow was needed. The elbow is made from the same high-quality stainless steel as the V1 Hydrant, and is very easy to install. Additionally, once hand tight, it can be rotated significantly to handle supply lines coming in from any direction without impacting the seal, Aquor had great installation videos that gave me confidence to do this installation myself. I'm very impressed with the company, its products and support.

Easy Peazy PEX Squeezy

As simple as attaching to the Aquor outdoor spigot, attach the PEX water line, and crimp the clamp. No more leaks. No more excessive concerns about water line freezing due to the excess water coming out after detaching the hose. Life is good.

Choose the right connection for your PEX—PEX B uses Crimp style

Accidentally ordered the expansion version which can only be used with PEX A. Reordered the Crimp style needed for PEX B and everything is good
