Description

Overview

This 3/8 x 1/8 NPT male elbow connects 3/8-inch outside-diameter nylon air brake tubing to a 1/8-inch NPTF female port. Its fixed 90-degree brass body changes the direction of the air line at the connection, helping route tubing around nearby components without forcing a tight bend.

The push-to-connect fitting allows suitable tubing to be installed directly into the elbow, with a reusable release collet for removal during servicing.

Features

• Fixed 90-degree brass male elbow configuration.
• Push-in connection for 3/8-inch OD imperial nylon air brake tube.
• 1/8-inch NPTF male pipe thread.
• Integrated release collet for tube removal and reconnection.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the 3/8 x 1/8 NPT male elbow to the tube outside diameter and female port thread before ordering. The tube connection requires imperial 3/8-inch tubing, not 8mm or 10mm metric tubing. The male thread is 1/8-inch NPTF and must not be confused with BSP threads of a similar nominal size.

Unlike a swivel elbow, this fixed version does not provide independent outlet rotation after the threaded connection is tightened. Check the required tube direction and available clearance.

Check these alternative configurations if the installation requires a different thread size or adjustable elbow direction.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the pneumatic circuit before disconnecting the tube or removing the elbow. Cut the tubing squarely, inspect its outer surface and push it fully into the fitting. Tighten the male thread using the appropriate installation procedure, keeping sealing compound out of the air passage. Repressurise the system and leak-test both connections.

Trailer Applications

This fitting suits compatible truck and trailer air brake, air suspension and auxiliary pneumatic plumbing. Its right-angle body is useful where a 3/8-inch line enters a smaller threaded valve or manifold port and a straight fitting would leave insufficient room for a smooth tube route.
