12 mm Pneumatic Male Elbow

A pneumatic male elbow is a specific type of fitting used in pneumatic systems to change the direction of airflow while providing a male connection for attachment to other components. Here’s a detailed description of its features:

1. Elbow Shape: This fitting is designed in an elbow or L-shaped configuration, typically at a 90-degree angle. It allows for a change in the direction of the pneumatic tubing or hose, redirecting airflow around corners or obstacles within a pneumatic system.
2. Male Connection: The term “male” signifies that one end of the elbow fitting is constructed to have external threads or a protruding section designed to fit into a corresponding female port, coupling, or other female-threaded components. This allows for a secure and threaded connection to other pneumatic devices or fittings.
3. Pneumatic Use: Male elbow fittings are specifically designed for use in pneumatic systems that utilize compressed air or gas. They are commonly employed in various industrial applications, machinery, automation systems, and pneumatic control systems.
4. Material: These fittings are typically made from materials like brass, stainless steel, or plastic, selected based on factors such as durability, resistance to corrosion, and suitability for pneumatic environments.
5. Thread Type: The male end of the elbow fitting usually features standard threading that conforms to industry standards, such as NPT (National Pipe Thread) or metric threads. The threading is designed to ensure compatibility with other fittings or components within the pneumatic system.
6. Sizes: Male elbow fittings are available in various sizes to accommodate different tubing or hose diameters commonly used in pneumatic systems. It’s crucial to select the appropriate size for compatibility and optimal system performance.
7. Application: These fittings are utilized to change the direction of pneumatic tubing or hoses while also providing a male connection point. They facilitate the redirection of compressed air flow, allowing for efficient routing of air within a pneumatic setup, especially around bends or tight spaces.

In summary, a pneumatic male elbow fitting serves the purpose of altering the direction of airflow in pneumatic systems while providing a male connection for seamless integration with other pneumatic components or devices.
