BV10 - 10 mm Nickel-Plated Brass Union Elbow

The Pneuforce BV10 is an all-metal nickel-plated brass union elbow sized for 10 mm outside-diameter tubing. Its union elbow layout provides a practical tube connection for compressed-air and vacuum equipment without introducing an unnecessary threaded port.

The fitting includes a positive Click-Click grip collar release feature, providing audible and tactile feedback when the collar is depressed during tube removal.

Industrial Nickel-Plated Brass Fitting

This B-Series all-metal fitting is intended for applications where plastic-bodied fittings may not be preferred. Nickel-plated brass provides excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding pneumatic and vacuum installations.

Typical Applications

  • Turning a pneumatic tube run through 90 degrees
  • Routing vacuum tubing around machine frames
  • Avoiding excessively tight tube bends in confined spaces
  • Connecting tubing sections without a threaded port

Fitting Function

A union elbow connects two tubing sections at 90 degrees without a threaded equipment port, helping keep the line within its permitted bend radius.

Installation Note: Cut tubing squarely and push the tube fully into the fitting before pressurizing or applying vacuum. To remove tubing, depress the grip collar; the Click-Click release feedback helps confirm the collar has been disengaged for tube removal. Always confirm tubing compatibility for pressure, temperature and media.

Selecting and Installing This Fitting

For BV10, match the specified 10 mm tubing outside diameter at every connection. Do not rely on approximate inch/metric equivalence without checking tubing tolerances. Cut the tubing squarely, insert it fully and leave access to the release collar. Check actual tubing pressure and temperature limits, which may be lower than the metal fitting limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a union elbow used for?

BV10 connects two 10 mm tubing sections at 90 degrees without a threaded equipment port.

Why use an elbow instead of sharply bending tubing?

A 90-degree union can redirect a line in a compact space while avoiding an excessive tube bend that may kink or restrict flow.

How is this union elbow different from a male elbow?

A union elbow has push-to-connect openings for tube-to-tube routing; a male elbow also has a threaded connection for a machine port.

What should be checked when routing tubing through the elbow?

Match the specified tube outside diameter, allow clearance to release each tube and avoid vibration or side loads pulling on the connections.

Is this fitting suitable for compressed air and vacuum?

The published all-metal B-Series range is specified for compressed air and vacuum service, subject to compatible tubing, proper sealing and the limits of the assembled system. Other fluids need separate compatibility confirmation.

What are the pressure and temperature limits?

The published fitting-family limits extend from full vacuum to 176 psi (12 bar, as listed for the fitting family), with a fitting temperature range of -40 to +248 °F (-40 to +120 °C). Actual system limits also depend on tubing, seals and installation; do not treat these as fluid-compatibility certifications.
