Video Transcript for Flair-It PEXLock 90-Degree PEX Elbow Fitting Review

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real brief look at this Flair-It PEXLock 90-Degree PEX Elbow Fitting. Now, this RV freshwater plumbing 90-degree 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, PERT tubing, and IAPMO-approved polyvinyl pipes, and the two 3/8 of an inch crimp connections with these two PEXLock clamps, meaning that you don't need any specialized tools for a secure fit. And the reusable PEXLock clamps are going to be installed with just a pair of pliers.

And then, if you decide to remove this fitting, the clamps can be removed with a screwdriver. Now, this 90-degree elbow fitting is obviously gonna let the flow of water change direction without the risk of kinking your tubing. And to install this, it's going to be relatively simple. You're just going to slide the PEXLock clamp over the end of the pipe or the tube that you want to install the fitting in. You do wanna make sure that the clamp is sitting flush with the straight cut end.

And then, you're going to insert the fitting into the end of the pipe, making sure that it meets the positive stop on the fitting. And then, finally, you wanna 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 on your screen, I've got a photo of just an illustration of what this is going to look like after properly installed. This connection will indeed 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.

So, like I said, once you have this properly installed, you should not have any problems with the fitting itself. It should be secure and tight for you. Now, as I mentioned, you can remove this fitting. To remove it, you're just going to carefully use a bladed screwdriver to remove the PEXLock clamps. And it might take some work to actually remove the fitting from the pipe or the tube once you have the clamps loosened, just because that connection was so tight.

So, just so you're aware of that. This is a durable fitting and it's reinforced to prevent any cracks from stress. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
