PexSupply.com is a reliable supplier.
Will be using these products this afternoon.
I'm sure it will be fine.
I will say that PexSupply.com ships very fast. I have had zero problem with PexSupply.com and plan on continuing to use them and will recommend them to my friends.

I won't risk it.
These Bluefin drop ear have several problems, both design and manufacturing quality. 1. Thin sidewalls on the PEX barb extension. 2. NPT thread well with a stop at the bottom potentially stopping the nipple seating completely. 3. Cast defects in the stop at the bottom of the thread well. Gives me serious reservations about Bluefin.

Q: Is this fitting only for a crimp pex line? Why don't they make it for wirsbo expansion
Asked by Bpluth 12 years ago

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThis fitting connects to PEX via the crimp method. Uponor currently does not offer a ProPEX drop ear elbow with 3/4" PEX and 1/2" NPT connections.

I have seen them come either way. It depends on the manufacturer.

I have received them both ways. The last ones had just two. Both work just as well. Good luck Sent from my iPad

I don't remember exactly, but I think its three. What I do remember is that they felt very secure after installation. I didn't have any concerns.

If I recall correctly, I have used these elbows with both two and three screws. The top screw that you are referring to, that may or may not be there is insignificant because the pipe is coming up preventing much less pressure that would be needed by that screw. If you get the two or the three screw elbow, both will work fine.

Q: could i use this for coming out of a 1/2 manablock
Asked by 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou couldn't, because the MANABLOC has unique threads that do not work with standard pipe thread fittings. Only MANABLOC fittings are compatible.
