Technical Specifications
Key Features & Benefits
360° Swivel Action
Full rotation eliminates hose twisting and kinking, extending hose life and improving workspace ergonomics in tight installations.
Instant Push-Fit
Tool-free installation with automatic grip-ring technology. Simply push 12mm polyurethane or nylon tube for secure, leak-free connection.
Premium Brass Body
Precision-machined from nickel-plated brass for superior corrosion resistance, durability, and consistent performance in industrial environments.
Leak-Free Seal
High-quality NBR seals maintain zero-leak performance up to 10 bar, ensuring reliable operation and minimal air loss in your system.
Applications
- Pneumatic Tool Connections – Air impact wrenches, grinders, spray guns, and nail guns
- Workshop Air Lines – Flexible hose routing in confined spaces and around machinery
- Automated Equipment – Actuators, cylinders, and control valves in production lines
- Vehicle Maintenance – Garage forecourts, MOT bays, and mobile service units
- Manufacturing Systems – Assembly stations, packaging lines, and material handling
- Compressed Air Distribution – Drop lines, manifolds, and point-of-use connections
Installation Guide
- Thread Preparation – Apply PTFE tape or thread sealant to R1/4 male thread (3-4 wraps clockwise)
- Thread Installation – Hand-tighten into female port, then use spanner to achieve final 1-2 turns for secure seal
- Tube Preparation – Cut 12mm polyurethane or nylon tube square using sharp tube cutter
- Tube Connection – Push tube firmly into fitting until it bottoms out (you'll feel resistance)
- Verification – Pull tube gently to confirm grip-ring engagement
- Pressure Test – Pressurize system gradually and check for leaks with soapy water solution
Removal: To disconnect tube, press collet ring while pulling tube outward. Do not attempt removal under pressure.
Why Choose This Fitting?
Engineered for professionals who demand reliability, this swivel elbow combines the flexibility of 360° rotation with the convenience of push-fit technology. The precision-machined brass body ensures long-term durability, while the swivel mechanism prevents hose fatigue and extends service life.
Ideal for workshops where hose routing flexibility is critical, this fitting eliminates the frustration of twisted airlines and provides smooth, unrestricted movement. The instant push-fit connection means faster installations and easier maintenance compared to traditional compression fittings.
