Description

Overview

The 1/4 x 3/8 BSP hose barb elbow turns a flexible pneumatic hose connection through 90 degrees while joining a 1/4in hose to a 3/8 BSP threaded connection. Its right-angle layout suits tailgate air-line arrangements where a straight fitting would send the hose toward nearby brackets or body hardware.

Features

• 90-degree elbow changes hose direction at the threaded connection.
• 1/4in hose barb suits matching flexible pneumatic hose by internal diameter.
• 3/8 BSP threaded end connects to a compatible mating fitting or adaptor.
• Fixed elbow layout keeps the hose route compact around tailgate hardware.

Specifications and Materials

Configuration: 90-degree hose barb elbow. Hose connection: 1/4in. Thread connection: 3/8 BSP. Because the two ends perform different jobs, check each size independently before fitting.

Part number: ABM69509.

See the Parker barbed fittings guide for general hose barb selection and connection guidance

Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm the hose internal diameter, 3/8 BSP thread and required elbow direction before ordering the 1/4 x 3/8 BSP hose barb elbow. The main mismatch risk is treating the 1/4in hose size as the pipe thread size, or substituting a similar-looking NPT connection. On tailgate-cylinder installations, also confirm where the elbow sits in the air-line arrangement rather than assuming every threaded port uses the same connection.

Related Parts

Check the related tailgate cylinder against the complete air-line and mounting arrangement.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the pneumatic circuit before removing the old fitting. Inspect the hose end for splits or distortion, then push the hose fully onto the barb and secure it using the correct retention method. Start the BSP connection carefully to avoid cross-threading, use the sealing method required by the mating connection, then restore pressure gradually and check both ends for leakage.

Trailer Applications

Trailer workshops use this elbow where a 1/4in flexible air hose needs to turn beside a 3/8 BSP connection in a pneumatic tailgate setup. The fixed 90-degree body keeps the route compact, but the outlet direction and surrounding clearance still need to suit the installation.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

ICS Trailers supplies pneumatic fittings and tailgate components for trailer body repairs. If the old elbow is difficult to identify, compare the hose bore, thread diameter, thread form and installed direction, or send clear photos and measurements before ordering.
