What This Fitting Is
The official catalogue name for this position is “ELBOW MALE ADAPTOR (TAPER)”, series code 1100, part of the “Push-on Fittings with Union Nuts” section (1000 series). This is a fixed elbow “tube — thread” type connection: on one side, a plastic tube is inserted and secured with a union nut; on the other side, the fitting is screwed into the threaded port of a fitting, valve, manifold, or pneumatic cylinder using its male tapered thread.

In addition to the 8/6-1/8 size, this same 1100 series is available for 4/2.7, 5/3, 6/4, 10/8, 12/10, and 15/12.5 mm tubes with 1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ threads — so the fitting can easily be matched to a different line diameter or a different port.
Design and Working Principle
- The union nut provides quick and reliable tube clamping without flaring or special tools — the tube is inserted fully, then the nut is tightened, securing it via a sealing ring.
- The elbow (L) body shape allows the tube direction to be turned by 90° and often eliminates additional bends in the tube itself, reducing the risk of kinking and extending tube service life.
- The 1/8″ male tapered thread (BSPT) provides a tight seal with the matching female tapered thread, without additional sealing (or with PTFE tape/sealant, per standard installation practice).
- The fitting body is made of brass, providing resistance to the working pressures of pneumatic systems and compatibility with compressed air containing traces of compressor oil.
Applications
These fittings are used in:
- pneumatic automation and assembly of pneumatic control panels;
- installation of compressed air lines on machinery and production lines;
- connecting pneumatic cylinders, valves, pressure regulators, and manifolds;
- any situation where a tube needs to be connected to a threaded port at a right angle, saving space in tight installation areas.
Why Choose This Series
- Quick installation without crimping or special tools;
- a wide range of sizes with a consistent labelling logic (tube diameter — thread);
- compatible with standard-size polyurethane (PU) and polyamide (PA) tubing;
- brass construction — a reliable choice for industrial use.
