Description

Overview

The 3/8 push-in elbow connects 3/8-inch outside-diameter nylon air tube to a 3/8 NPT male port while directing the line through 45 degrees. Its swivel base allows the outlet position to be set during installation, helping the tube clear nearby valves, brackets and chassis components without a tight bend beside the port.

Features

• 45-degree swivel male elbow configuration
• Push-in connection for 3/8-inch OD nylon tube
• 3/8-18 NPTF male pipe thread
• Reusable collet-style tube connection
• Brass body with pre-applied thread sealant

Compatibility and Fitment

Select this 3/8 push-in elbow only when both connections match. Measure the tube across its outside diameter, confirm the receiving port is 3/8 NPT rather than BSP or metric, and allow clearance for the swivel hex. The main mismatch risk is assuming both 3/8 measurements describe the same connection, when one is tube OD and the other is pipe thread size.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the system before installation. Cut the nylon tube square, remove damaged material and push it fully through the collet to the internal stop. Use the swivel for installation alignment rather than continuous rotation, then pressure-test the threaded and tube connections before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

This fitting suits compatible trailer air brake, air suspension and auxiliary pneumatic circuits where a 3/8-inch nylon line must enter a 3/8 NPT port at a shallow angle. The 45-degree outlet can improve clearance where a straight connector or 90-degree elbow would create poor tube alignment.
