Description

Overview

The 10mm x 1/2 NPT swivel male elbow joins 10mm metric nylon tube to a female 1/2 NPT port. It turns the air line through 90 degrees, while the swivel base lets the installer aim the tube after tightening. This layout helps when valves, tanks or brackets restrict the available route.

Features

• Push-in collet accepts 10mm outside-diameter air brake tube.
• Swivel 90-degree body changes direction without twisting the connected tube.
• Brass construction suits D.O.T. air brake and heavy-vehicle pneumatic plumbing.
• 1/2 NPT male thread connects directly to a matching female port.

Specifications and Materials

This fitting combines a 10mm push-to-connect tube end with a 1/2 NPT male pipe thread. The collet grips the tube while the internal seal closes around its outside surface. Depressing the collet releases the tube during servicing.

Part number: 88-M005S-10N08.

Compatibility and Fitment

Measure the tube outside diameter and confirm the port thread before ordering. The main mismatch risk is a 1/2 BSP port. Its nominal size resembles 1/2 NPT, but the thread form and pitch differ. Also check the surrounding clearance so the 10mm x 1/2 NPT swivel male elbow can rotate without contacting nearby hardware.

Cut the nylon tube square and remove burrs before insertion. Push it through the gripping section until it reaches the internal stop. Then pull back lightly to confirm the collet has engaged.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the system before removing or installing the fitting. Inspect the tube surface, collet and threaded port for damage or contamination. After assembly, restore pressure gradually and test both joints for leakage before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

Trailer workshops use this elbow where a 10mm air line must leave a larger 1/2 NPT connection at a right angle. Typical locations include reservoirs, brake valves, air suspension controls and auxiliary pneumatic manifolds. In these positions, a straight connector may crowd the tube or create a tight bend.
