Description

Overview

The 1/4 x 1/8 BSP hose barb elbow turns a flexible pneumatic hose connection through 90 degrees for compact tailgate-cylinder air line routing. It combines a 1/4in hose connection with a 1/8 BSP threaded connection, so both ends need to match the existing setup.

Features

• Fixed 90-degree elbow changes the hose direction close to the connection point.
• 1/4in hose barb connection suits matching flexible pneumatic hose.
• 1/8 BSP threaded connection matches compatible pneumatic fittings and adaptors.
• Suited to compatible tailgate-cylinder air line installations.

Specifications and Materials

Product type: 90-degree hose barb elbow. Hose connection: 1/4in. Thread connection: 1/8 BSP. Configuration: fixed right-angle hose-to-thread fitting.

Compatibility and Fitment

Check the hose size, BSP thread size and elbow orientation separately before ordering. The main mismatch risk is treating the 1/4in hose size as the threaded size, or confusing 1/8 BSP with a similar-looking NPT or metric connection. The 1/4 x 1/8 BSP hose barb elbow suits the specified tailgate-cylinder setup, but the removed fitting and connection arrangement should still be compared before installation.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air circuit before removing the old elbow. Inspect the hose end, retaining clamp and mating connection for wear or damage. Push the hose fully onto the barb and secure it with the correct retaining method for the hose. Start the threaded connection carefully, do not force a thread that binds, then restore pressure gradually and check both ends for leakage.

Trailer Applications

This elbow suits pneumatic tailgate installations where a flexible air hose needs to turn immediately beside a cylinder, valve or adaptor. Its fixed 90-degree layout can keep the hose route compact, so check that the outlet direction clears nearby brackets and moving tailgate hardware before tightening the connection.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

When replacing a small tailgate air fitting, compare the old elbow, hose size and thread closely. If the connection is difficult to identify, send a clear photo of the removed fitting and hose so the setup can be narrowed down before ordering.
