This equal elbow fitting is designed to connect two pipes of the same diameter to form a precise 90° change in direction within compressed air and pneumatic systems. It is ideal for tight installations where pipework needs to be routed cleanly around corners without compromising system performance.

The push-fit connection enables fast installation without tools, heat or sealing compounds, helping to reduce installation time compared to traditional jointing methods. A precision-engineered collet locking system grips the pipe securely without deformation or flow restriction, while the integrated nitrile O-ring provides a reliable, airtight seal.

Fully demountable for ease of maintenance, the elbow allows systems to be modified or extended with minimal downtime. Manufactured from tough engineered plastic, it is compatible with John Guest nylon and powder-coated aluminium pipe, as well as a wide range of plastic and soft metal pipe materials.
