• Corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel
• Operates from vacuum to 12,000 PSI, depending on tube size
• Temperature range: -325°F to 1200°F
• Parts and bodies may be intermixed with those from other manufacturers without affecting performance
• Install nut 1-1/4 turns past snug for optimal sealing pressure
When you are designing instrumentation panels or retrofitting complex machinery, you frequently encounter scenarios where you must connect a male-threaded component—like a pressure gauge or sensor—directly to a tubing line while turning a sharp corner. In these tight configurations, a straight adapter simply won't work. This is where the Tube x Female NPT 90° Elbow from Hose and Fitting Supply becomes a vital asset in your engineering toolkit.
Navigating the market for components requires finding a dependable industrial hose supplier who understands the difference between general plumbing and precision systems. You need hose fittings that provide a secure, vibration-resistant seal. Unlike a standard rubber hose connector, which is designed for flexibility and movement, this elbow provides a rigid, fixed connection point. It allows you to adapt a male pipe thread to a tube run at a perfect right angle, acting as a specialized hose connector that saves critical space in crowded enclosures.
You will find this component particularly useful in applications such as installing remote diagnostic equipment, connecting pilot lines, or routing fluid to stationary instruments. Because it utilizes the mechanics of compression fittings, you achieve a high-pressure seal without the need for flaring or soldering. This makes it superior to many standard hydraulic fittings when ease of assembly and reassembly is required. As you maintain your equipment, you rely on high-quality hose accessories to prevent leaks that could compromise system accuracy.
Trusting a reputable industrial hose supplier ensures that the threads are cut precisely and the compression nut seats perfectly. While you might use a rubber hose connector for low-pressure drain lines, high-stakes instrumentation demands the metal-to-metal security of these hose fittings. This elbow serves as a robust hose connector, ensuring that your connections hold fast even under thermal stress. Whether you are dealing with pneumatic control systems or fluid processing, using the right hydraulic fittings and hose accessories—specifically reliable compression fittings—guarantees that your operations run smoothly and safely.
