Get rid of the steel elbow - it's not stainless steel as one person thought. It will rust and fail.
Well if you can tell me what to replace it with and where I might get it I will consider it. I have had a hell of a time finding any elbow that was 1/2" MNPT to 3/8" PEX.Get rid of the steel elbow - it's not stainless steel as one person thought. It will rust and fail.

I think I pretty much know what I need. The problem is that finding 3/8” fittings is difficult. If you want anything other than a few common fittings you have to go online searching. Even there it is difficult. I have to have a 1/2” MNPT elbow that has 3/8” PEX connector on the other end. I have one in the mail but it is stuck in a post office for 5 days without moving.
SharkBite 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect x MIP Brass 90-Degree Elbow Fitting-U280LFA - The Home DepotDomo, thanks, can you post the actual link? I think the threaded end is 3/8” not 1/2 inch. I ordered one by error. The push to connect end was for 1/2 inside diameter and the thread was for 3/8”
try supply house, it will be here (there) a couple daysThe plumbing gods apparently hate me. After 7 days the postal system says the package is lost or damaged and the shipment has stopped in the regional USPO 80 miles from me. I ordered another one.
