                              A:  yes it can be.

                              by|Dec 23, 2022

                                A:  In general it can.  It depends a little on the type of valve.  If it has the same size shark bite fitting, this elbow can be used after a section of PEX. If the valve has pipe threads or is meant for solder, then you need the correct adapter to transition to PEX.
