3/8" Elbow Swage Union (ELSW3800) - SmartLock Swage Fitting
Connect copper or aluminum tubes to swage valves at a 90° angle without brazing or flaring. SmartLock ELSW3800 uses patented metal-to-metal sealing technology for permanent, zero-leak joints under any pressure or temperature. Standard wrenches align and tighten components automatically, letting technicians skip open flames and finish installs faster.
What's in the Box (pre-assembled)

Key Features
- No brazing or flaring required. Tighten nuts to seal tube and valve connections without heat or flame.
