Description
Professional Pneumatic Fittings — UK Stock
Brass Swivel Elbow Push Fit Connector
R3/8 BSP Male Thread × 10mm OD Tube
The definitive 90° push-to-connect solution for compressed air systems where space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable. Machined from solid brass. Rated to 16 bar / 232 PSI. Installs in seconds — no tools, no thread tape on the collet, no compromise.
The Engineering Case
Routing compressed air lines through a busy workshop or automated cell demands fittings that can pivot after installation. The swivel elbow body rotates freely once seated, letting you align tubing to the exact angle your installation demands — eliminating torsional stress on the airline and reducing the risk of fatigue failure over time.
The push-fit collet grips 10mm OD polyurethane or nylon tubing with a positive, audible click. Release is equally clean: depress the collet ring and the tube withdraws without damage, making reconfiguration fast and cost-free.

Typical Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
What tube size does this fitting accept?
This connector is designed for 10mm outside diameter (OD) pneumatic tubing — the most common airline size in UK workshop installations.
Is R3/8 the same as 3/8 BSP?
Yes. R3/8 is the ISO 7-1 designation for a 3/8 inch BSP taper (BSPT) male thread — the standard used across UK and European pneumatic equipment.
Do I need thread tape or sealant?
PTFE thread tape is recommended on the male BSP thread for a leak-free seal. The push-fit tube connection requires no additional sealant.
Can the swivel body be repositioned after installation?
Yes — the elbow body rotates freely around the threaded port once the fitting is installed, allowing you to direct the tube outlet to any angle without disturbing the thread seal.
