Description

Overview

The 1/2 NPT push-in elbow connects 1/2-inch outside-diameter nylon air brake tube to a matching 1/2 NPT male port and turns the line through 45 degrees. Its swivel base allows the outlet to be positioned during installation, helping the larger tube clear valves, brackets and chassis hardware.

Features

• DOT push-to-connect fitting for 1/2-inch OD nylon tube
• 1/2-14 NPTF male tapered pipe thread
• 45-degree swivel male elbow configuration
• Reusable tube connection released by depressing the collet

Compatibility and Fitment

Measure the air tube across its outside diameter before ordering, then confirm the receiving port uses 1/2 NPT rather than BSP or a metric thread. Although both ends are described as 1/2 inch, tube OD and nominal pipe thread are different measurements. Allow enough straight clearance to push the tube fully through the collet.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air system before removing or installing the fitting. Cut the nylon tube square, remove scored or distorted material and insert the tube fully. Use the swivel only to set the installation position. Then pressure-test both connections and inspect the tube route for heat, abrasion and movement.

Trailer Applications

The 1/2 NPT push-in elbow suits compatible trailer air brake, air suspension and auxiliary pneumatic circuits where a larger nylon line enters a valve, manifold, reservoir or control port. Its 45-degree outlet can provide better clearance than either a straight connector or a full 90-degree elbow.
