Technical & Selection Guide

When to Use a Union Elbow:

Use a union elbow whenever you need to make a 90-degree turn between two pieces of tubing. While flexible tubing can be bent, a sharp bend can cause the tube to kink, which restricts airflow and can eventually lead to cracking. A union elbow ensures a full-flow, stress-free 90-degree turn.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "PV 08" mean?

A: "PV" indicates a Union Elbow, and "08" means it is designed for 8mm OD tubing on both sides.

Q: Can I connect a 6mm tube to an 8mm tube with this fitting?

A: No, the LPV is a standard union elbow for connecting tubes of the same size. To connect two different sizes at a 90-degree angle, you would need a reducing union elbow.
