Description
Pneumatic Fittings — Workshop Grade
R1/2 Male to 12mm Swivel Elbow
Brass Push-Fit Pneumatic Connector
The precision-engineered solution for 90° air line routing in confined spaces — combining tool-free push-fit installation with a full-rotation swivel body rated to 16 bar / 232 PSI.
Where space is at a premium and air line routing demands precision, the R1/2 Male to 12mm Brass Swivel Elbow delivers. Machined from high-grade brass with a corrosion-resistant finish, this push-fit pneumatic connector creates a secure, leak-free 90° transition between an R1/2 (BSPT) male threaded port and 12mm OD pneumatic tubing — with a swivel body that rotates freely after installation to eliminate torsional stress on your air lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does R1/2 mean on a pneumatic fitting?
R1/2 refers to a BSP Taper (BSPT) male thread with a nominal bore of 1/2 inch — the standard thread designation used across UK and European pneumatic and compressed air systems. It is equivalent to 1/2" BSPT and is compatible with G1/2 female parallel (BSPP) ports when used with appropriate sealing.
Will this fitting work with polyurethane (PU) and nylon pneumatic tubing?
Yes. This push-fit connector is compatible with standard 12mm OD pneumatic tubing in PU, nylon (PA), and polyethylene (PE) — the most common tube materials used in compressed air systems. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely for a reliable seal.
How do I release the tube from a push-fit pneumatic connector?
To release the tube, depressurise the system first, then press the collet ring (the outer collar) firmly towards the fitting body while simultaneously pulling the tube straight out. Do not twist the tube during removal.
Is PTFE tape required on the R1/2 male thread?
Yes. As an R (BSPT) taper thread, PTFE tape or thread sealant compound should be applied to the male thread before installation to ensure a pressure-tight seal. Typically 2–3 wraps of PTFE tape applied in the direction of the thread is sufficient for compressed air applications up to 16 bar.
