About Union elbows

Push-in L-connectors turn a tube line through a right angle and keep the space needed in front of a cylinder or valve to a minimum. The range takes tube of 3 to 16 mm outside diameter and works up to 20 bar. Reducing versions link a plug nipple to a smaller tube size.

What matters when choosing

• Tube outside diameter: 3 to 16 mm. On reducing types the nipple size and the tube size have to be checked separately.
• Series: Blue Series, Blue Series mini, click-clock, metallica, NonPlusUltra and inox line differ in shape and material and thereby also set the pressure and temperature range.
• Material: plastic or nickel plated brass for standard duty, stainless steel 1.4404 where corrosion is a factor.
• Sealant: NBR for compressed air, FKM or FPM for oil, grease and higher temperatures, and the FDA compliant version near food production.
• Pressure range: working pressure reaches 20 bar and vacuum down to -0.99 bar, which covers use on suction circuits.

Typical applications

• Connecting pneumatic cylinders in confined spaces
• Tubing up valve manifolds and control blocks
• Vacuum circuits on suction grippers
• Air service units and distribution rails
• Retrofits where the line has to leave the component closely

The group holds 57 articles from six series and covers materials from plastic through nickel plated brass to stainless steel 1.4404. An FDA compliant FKM seal is available for work close to food.
