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
- Industrial compressed air systems
- Vacuum automation and pick-and-place equipment
- Machine building and OEM pneumatic panels
- Robotics and end-of-arm tooling air lines
- Harsh industrial environments requiring metal fittings
- Maintenance replacement for existing push-to-connect fittings
Fitting Function
This male swivel elbow connects tubing to a threaded port at 90 degrees with swivel adjustment for easier alignment. It provides a fast push-to-connect tube interface while maintaining the ruggedness of an all-metal nickel-plated brass body.
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.
