Description

Overview

The 3/8 NPT elbow redirects a threaded pneumatic connection through 90 degrees where a straight fitting would interfere with nearby components or create an unsuitable line path. It combines one 3/8 NPT male connection with one 3/8 NPT female connection in a compact brass body suited to trailer air plumbing and workshop pneumatic systems.

Features

• 90 degree body redirects the connection around nearby components.
• 3/8 NPT male external thread for a compatible female port.
• 3/8 NPT female internal thread accepts a compatible male fitting.
• Brass body with flat faces for controlled spanner tightening.

Specifications and Materials

Product type: 90 degree male-to-female elbow. Male connection: 3/8 NPT. Female connection: 3/8 NPT. Configuration: equal-size threaded elbow. Material: brass. Part number: 02N25EL-06.

Thread and size details are available in the official IFS NPT fittings guide

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the 3/8 thread size, NPT thread form, male-to-female configuration and available installation clearance before ordering. The main mismatch risk is substituting a similar-looking BSP or metric elbow, or selecting a male-to-male or female-to-female fitting. Check that the elbow can be tightened to its sealing position while the female opening finishes in a usable direction.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the pneumatic system before removing the old elbow. Inspect both mating threads for damage, corrosion or contamination, then apply a suitable pneumatic thread sealant to the male tapered threads without blocking the internal passage. Start each connection by hand and tighten through the brass body using the correct spanner. Do not force a fitting that binds early. Restore pressure gradually and leak-test both joints after installation.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this style of elbow where a trailer air valve, reservoir, manifold or control component has a 3/8 threaded port but the connected fitting must approach from another direction. The 90 degree body helps route pneumatic plumbing away from brackets, chassis members and adjacent ports while keeping the connection close to the component.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

Male/female elbows can be difficult to identify once sealant covers the original threads. If the old fitting is uncertain, send clear photos of both connections together with the measured thread diameter and installation location. ICS Trailers supplies brass elbows, adaptors and pneumatic fittings for trailer repairs and workshop air-system servicing.
