6mm Tube × 4mm Tube Reducing Elbow
This Pneuforce reducing elbow connects 6mm tubing to 4mm tubing while changing the direction of the pneumatic or vacuum line by 90 degrees. It provides a compact push-to-connect solution where both tube-size reduction and a directional change are required.
The lightweight engineered polymer body provides excellent dimensional stability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance for industrial pneumatic installations.

Reduce Tube Size and Change Direction
Unlike a standard union elbow, this reducing elbow connects two different outside-diameter tube sizes. It is useful when a larger main line must transition to a smaller branch or component connection without adding a separate reducer and elbow.
Key Features
- Connects 6mm tube to 4mm tube
- Combines tube-size reduction with a 90-degree directional change
- Compact alternative to using a separate reducer and elbow
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant engineered polymer body
- Stainless steel gripping claws for secure tube retention
- NBR seals for compressed air and vacuum service
- Click-Click audible and tactile feedback during grip-collar disengagement
Typical Applications
- Reducing tubing size at a corner
- Compact pneumatic retrofits
- Actuator tubing runs
Installation Note: Confirm the outside diameter of both tube connections before ordering. Cut tubing squarely and push each tube fully into the correct side of the fitting. To remove tubing, depress the grip collar; the Click-Click sound and feel indicate collar disengagement during tube release.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tubing size fits PLGJ06-04?+
The tube connection is sized for 6mm outside-diameter tubing and 4mm at the reducing connection. Match the actual tubing OD, not its nominal internal diameter.
Which tubing sizes does PLGJ06-04 join?+
It joins 6mm outside-diameter tubing to 4mm outside-diameter tubing at a 90-degree angle.
Does this reducing fitting regulate air pressure or airflow?+
No. It changes the tube connection size; it is not a pressure regulator or adjustable flow-control valve.
Can it be used in an industrial vacuum circuit?+
The P-Series fitting family is described for industrial compressed-air and vacuum service. Confirm that the tubing, O-rings and pressure or vacuum conditions are appropriate for the complete system.
How do I release or reconnect the pneumatic tube?+
Isolate pressure or vacuum first. Depress the release collar fully and pull the tube straight out. The Click-Click feel and sound are associated with depressing the collar during tube release, not with inserting the tube. Cut the tube end square before reconnecting.
What material is the body made from?+
The fitting body is acetal engineering polymer (POM), with the separate gripping, sealing and any threaded components identified in the specification table.
Is it suitable for drinking water or potable-water installations?+
No potable-water approval is stated for this P-Series fitting. Use a product with documentation explicitly covering the required drinking-water standards rather than assuming pneumatic fittings are certified.
