Fitting Function

Makes a right-angle tube-to-thread connection with a swivel outlet for easier routing. Match 1/8" tubing and the specified 1/16 NPT mating port.

Important: This P-Series fitting is intended for industrial pneumatic and vacuum applications and is not approved for potable water service. Cut tubing squarely and push it fully into the fitting. To remove the tube, depress the grip collar; the Click-Click sound and feel indicate collar disengagement during tube release.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tubing size fits PL1/8-N?

The tube connection is sized for 1/8" outside-diameter tubing. Match the actual tubing OD, not its nominal internal diameter.

Why choose this 90-degree angle swivel elbow instead of a straight connector?

It turns the 1/8" pneumatic tube away from the threaded component where a straight connection would create an awkward bend or clearance problem.

Does the swivel outlet help with tubing orientation?

Yes. The swivel form allows the tube outlet to be directed to the desired position during installation, rather than twisting the tubing to reach the connection.

What thread does this fitting use and which port does it fit?

The fitting uses a 1/16 NPT male pipe thread. Select the matching NPT female port and an appropriate thread seal; do not treat it as a BSPP parallel thread.

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.
