SKNPL Series Stainless Steel Male Elbows

Features & Key Specifications

Secure 90-Degree Connection:

The elbow design allows for a neat, right-angle turn in your tubing, while the quick screw nut provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant grip rated up to 3.0 MPa (30 bar).

360° Swivel for Easy Installation:

The fitting body can be rotated a full 360 degrees after the thread is tightened, allowing for perfect orientation of the tubing in any direction.

Extreme Temperature & Pressure Range:

This high-pressure, high-temperature fitting is engineered to perform reliably in conditions where standard fittings would fail, from cryogenic to high-temperature steam.

Superior 316L Stainless Steel:

The use of 316L stainless steel provides maximum resistance to corrosion from aggressive liquids, steam, and harsh cleaning agents.

Comprehensive Size & Thread Options:

Tube OD (Metric): 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm

Port Sizes: M5, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" in NPT, BSPP (G), and BSPT (P) threads.

Application Fields

The Secure 90-Degree Turn for Demanding Systems:

Connecting to Cylinder Ports: Creating a secure, high-pressure connection in a compact, 90-degree orientation.

High-Temperature Process Lines: Ideal for routing steam or hot fluid lines around corners.

Vibration-Prone Machinery: The secure nut ensures the connection stays tight on vibrating equipment.

Chemical Dosing Skids: Providing robust, corrosion-resistant connections for chemical transfer tubing.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Use a Swivel Elbow?

A swivel elbow is a major advantage in complex installations. After tightening the thread, you can still rotate the body to aim the tubing outlet. This prevents over-torquing the thread and makes installation in hard-to-reach areas much simpler.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: Is this connection more secure than a push-in fitting?

A: Yes. The addition of the tightening nut provides significantly higher resistance to the tube being pulled out, making it a better choice for high-pressure or high-vibration applications.

Q: How do I install it?

A: First, screw the male thread into your port. Then, push the tube firmly onto the internal barb. Finally, hand-tighten the external nut until it is snug, then give it a final quarter-turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.
