Description

Overview

The 1/4-inch air brake union elbow connects two 1/4-inch OD pneumatic tubes through a fixed 90-degree turn. Its push-to-connect layout keeps the line size unchanged, making it useful where a straight joiner will not suit the available routing space.

Features

• 1/4-inch OD tube connection at both ends
• 90-degree union elbow configuration
• Push-to-connect tube retention for quick assembly and release
• Brass construction for pneumatic service

Specifications and Materials

This fitting joins imperial 1/4-inch OD tube to 1/4-inch OD tube without a threaded pipe connection. The body turns the line through 90 degrees, while collet-style ends grip compatible nylon tubing. Depress the collet to release the tube for servicing.

Part number: DQ65DOT04.

See the Parker DOT push-to-connect fitting guide

Compatibility and Fitment

Match both sides to 1/4-inch OD air-brake tubing before fitting. The main ordering risk is confusing this union elbow with a 1/4-inch male elbow, which has a threaded connection on one side. This part instead accepts tube at both ends. Cut the tube square and push each end fully into the collet before pressurising the circuit.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air system before disconnecting a line. Inspect the nylon tube for scoring, flattening or an angled cut because damaged tube can affect the seal. After assembly, restore pressure and check both joints for leakage.

Trailer Applications

The 1/4-inch air brake union elbow suits compatible truck and trailer pneumatic circuits where two 1/4-inch lines need to meet at a right angle. It can serve air-brake, air-ride or auxiliary air routing when space makes a straight connection impractical.
