Description
This brass wingback elbow is designed to connect metric push-fit pipe to an imperial BSP threaded connection while providing a secure, wall-mounted fixing point. It is commonly used in compressed air and pneumatic systems where pipework needs to be terminated neatly at a wall, machine connection or drop point.
The integrated wall plate allows the fitting to be firmly mounted, helping to reduce strain on pipework and maintain a tidy installation. The push-fit connection enables fast, tool-free installation, while the precision-engineered collet locking system grips the pipe securely without deformation or flow restriction. An integrated nitrile O-ring ensures a reliable, airtight seal.
Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant brass, the fitting is fully demountable, allowing for easy maintenance or system modifications. It is compatible with a wide range of plastic and soft metal pipe materials, making it a versatile solution across industrial, workshop and commercial environments.
