Description

Overview

The 8mm x 1/2 NPT swivel male elbow turns an air line through 90 degrees. It also joins 8mm metric tube to a female NPT port. Because the body swivels, the installer can set the tube direction after thread engagement. This helps around valves, tanks and manifolds in confined pneumatic layouts.

Features

• Push-in collet connection accepts 8mm outside-diameter nylon air brake tube.
• 1/2 NPT male thread connects to a matching female pneumatic port.
• Swivel 90-degree body supports compact routing without a sharp tube bend.
• Brass construction suits heavy-vehicle pneumatic service.

Specifications and Materials

This fitting combines an 8mm metric push-in connection with a 1/2 NPT male thread. Depressing the collet releases the tube during service. Meanwhile, the brass elbow body carries the threaded connection and changes the air-line direction through 90 degrees.

Part number: 88-M005S-08N08.

Official D.O.T. push-in fitting catalogue covers the fitting family and connection sizes.

Compatibility and Fitment

Before fitting, match the 8mm tube outside diameter and confirm the receiving port uses a 1/2 NPT female thread. However, the main ordering risk is confusing metric 8mm tube with imperial tube, or matching the male thread to a BSP port. Also check that the elbow has enough clearance to rotate and face the required direction. The 8mm x 1/2 NPT swivel male elbow must connect to clean, undamaged tube cut square across the end.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the circuit before removing the old fitting. Inspect the female port, tube surface and collet area for damage. Then push the tube fully home and leak-test the joint after restoring air pressure. Keep thread sealant away from the air passage and tube-grip components.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this elbow where an 8mm trailer air line must turn directly from a 1/2 NPT connection. For example, connection points include valves, reservoirs, manifolds and pneumatic controls. It suits air brake, air suspension and auxiliary air plumbing when the route needs a compact change of direction.
