Technical & Selection Guide

Male Elbow (SPL) vs. Female Elbow (SPLF): Which Do I Need?

Choose this SPLF (Female) Elbow if: The component you are connecting to has a male (external) thread.

Choose an SPL (Male) Elbow if: The component you are connecting to has a female (internal) thread.

They serve opposite but complementary functions for creating 90-degree connections.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: Is this a "swivel" fitting?

A: Unlike a male elbow, a standard female elbow fitting is typically a fixed, one-piece design as it tightens onto an external thread.

Q: Can I use this fitting for steam?

A: Yes, the 316 stainless steel body combined with the FKM O-ring makes this fitting suitable for low-pressure steam applications within its -20°C to 140°C temperature range.

Q: What is the pressure rating for these fittings?

A: Our stainless steel push-in fittings are rated for a working pressure of 0 to 1.0 MPa (10 bar) and a maximum pressure of 1.5 MPa (15 bar).
