Video Transcript for Review of Flair-It RV Fresh Water - PEXLock 90 Degree Female Swivel Elbow Fitting - FL44ZR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Flair-It PEXLOCK 90-degree female swivel elbow fitting. This RV freshwater plumbing 90-degree swivel elbow coupler is going to connect pipes and hoses in your RV freshwater plumbing system, whether you're needing to repair leaky connections or install new lines. This is going to work with your PEX pipes, PE-RT tubing, and IAPMO-approved polyvinyl pipes. The half-inch crimped connection with the PEXLOCK clamp means you don't need any specialized tools to get a nice secure fit.

And this reusable PEXLOCK clamp is installed with just a pair of pliers and can be removed with a screwdriver. This half-inch FPT swivel connection is going to fit hoses or tubes with half-inch MPT fittings. And of course, that 90-degree elbow is going to let water flow and change direction without the risk of kinking your tubing. And that swivel connection is going to reduce the stress on your hose or pipe. Now, to install this, it's going to be relatively simple.

You're gonna begin by sliding the PEXLOCK clamp over the end of the pipe or tube that you're installing this into. You do wanna make sure that it's flush with the straight-cut end, and then you're going to insert the fitting into the end of the pipe or the tube, making sure that it meets the positive stop on the fitting. And then finally, you're going to use a pair of pliers to squeeze together the two ears on the clamp until you hear a click or until the two ears overlap and engage each other. And this connection will be very secure for you. We have been very impressed at how secure the connections have been on other Flair-It fittings that we have tested.

And so once you have this properly installed, you're not gonna have to worry about it. It's going to be very secure for you. Then to remove the fitting, you're going to carefully use a bladed screwdriver to remove the PEXLOCK clamp. And it might take some doing to actually remove the fitting from the tube or the pipe that you have this installed in. Because of how secure this was, you might have to really work to get that fitting out of that pipe or tube when you need to remove it.

This durable fitting is reinforced to prevent any cracks from stress. And that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
