The PL5/16-1/4 Male Elbow Fitting is a 90-degree push-to-connect L-shaped adapter designed to make clean right-angle connections between threaded equipment ports and pneumatic tubing. Built to connect a 5/16" outer diameter (5/16" O.D. / ~8mm) tube to a 1/4" male thread (NPT or BSPT/R), it prevents tubing kinks and reduces strain on air lines in tight machine enclosures.
Featuring a 360-degree swiveling body design, the fitting allows complete alignment flexibility during and after installation. It is manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass threaded base, a high-strength PBT resin composite body, stainless steel internal lock claws, and pre-applied thread sealant (or NBR seal) to ensure a fast, leak-proof seal.
