The PL5/16-3/8 Male Elbow Fitting is a 90-degree push-to-connect L-shaped adapter designed for clean right-angle connections between larger threaded ports and flexible pneumatic tubing. Built to connect a 5/16" outer diameter (5/16" O.D. / ~8mm) tube to a 3/8" male thread (NPT or BSPT/R), it eliminates tube stress and tight bending radiuses in pneumatic installations.
Featuring a 360-degree swiveling body design, the upper composite housing rotates independently of the threaded base to allow precise alignment during setup. It is constructed with a nickel-plated brass threaded portion, a durable PBT resin composite body, stainless steel internal lock claws, and pre-applied thread sealant (or NBR seal) for a fast, leak-free connection.
