Description

Overview

The 1/2 hose barb M16 elbow routes DOT air brake hose through a compact 90° turn into a matching metric male connection. Its brass body suits brake booster plumbing where a straight hose tail would place an unnecessary bend in the hose or interfere with nearby components.

Features

• 1/2in hose barb for matching DOT air brake hose.
• M16 male threaded connection with a separate retaining nut.
• Thrust washer and O-ring provide the sealing arrangement at the metric port.
• Right-angle body changes line direction without forcing the hose to curve immediately after the barb.

Specifications and Materials

This brass elbow combines a ribbed 1/2in hose tail with an M16 male threaded stud. It includes the nut, sealing thrust washer and O-ring required for the metric connection. Secure the hose with the clamp, sleeve or ferrule specified for the hose system.

Part number: 06-M06L-0816.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the 1/2 hose barb M16 elbow against the hose inside diameter, M16 port, sealing face and available clearance before ordering. The most likely mismatch is selecting the correct hose size but the wrong metric thread or sealing arrangement. Check that the nut can tighten against the thrust washer without the elbow body contacting surrounding hardware.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air system before removing the old fitting. Inspect the port face, O-ring groove, hose end and barb for damage or contamination, then replace any cut, flattened or hardened seal. Position the elbow before final tightening, secure the hose correctly and leak-test the connection at operating pressure before returning the brake system to service.

Trailer Applications

This fitting connects DOT air brake hose to brake booster plumbing where the line needs to leave the port at 90°. Workshops may also encounter the same connection style in compatible heavy-vehicle pneumatic layouts, but the hose size, metric port and seal arrangement must all match.
