Prevost Male NPT Elbow

Description

Prevost Male NPT Elbow – Prevost PPS 90° Male Thread Elbow

The Prevost PPS 90° Male Thread Elbow is a compact, space-saving connector designed to link the Prevost aluminum piping system directly to threaded equipment at a right angle. This fitting features a precision-machined male thread (NPT or BSPT) on one side and the secure PPS push-to-connect technology on the other.

This component is the perfect solution for tight installations where there isn’t enough room to use a straight adapter and a bent pipe. It allows you to connect piping directly to compressor outlets, receiver tanks, or FRL units that are positioned close to walls or inside confined machinery cabinets.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compact Equipment Connection: Eliminates the need for a separate male nipple and a threaded street elbow. This single-piece design creates a much lower profile, ideal for connecting air supplies in restricted spaces.
• Direct 90° Transition: Allows the piping to turn immediately upon exiting the equipment, keeping the installation tidy and reducing the mechanical leverage/stress placed on the equipment’s outlet port.
• PPS Grip Security: The pipe side utilizes Prevost’s signature stainless steel grip ring and lubricated seal, ensuring that the aluminum pipe is held rigidly and leak-free, even under vibration.
• High-Quality Threading: Features a tapered male thread (NPT or BSPT) that ensures a pressure-tight seal when used with standard PTFE tape or sealing paste.
• All-Aluminum Durability: Constructed from the same corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy as the pipe, ensuring electrical continuity and preventing galvanic corrosion at the connection point.

Technical Specifications

• Part Series: PPS1 90M (Male Elbow)
• Connection Type:
  • Side A: Tapered Male Thread (NPT or BSPT)
  • Side B: PPS Connection for Aluminum Pipe
• Body Material: Aluminum Alloy (EN AW 6082 T6)
• Operating Pressure: Up to 232 PSI (16 bar)
• Operating Temperature: -4°F to +176°F (-20°C to +80°C)
• Vacuum Compatible: Yes
• Flow: smooth internal radius to minimize pressure drop compared to sharp-cornered fittings.

Ideal Applications

• Compressor & Tank Hookups: Connecting to the top or side outlet of a receiver tank where the pipe must immediately run horizontally along the ceiling.
• FRL Units: Connecting air preparation units (filters/regulators) directly to the pipe line in a tight workshop corner.
• Machinery Inlets: Connecting the main air line to the inlet port of a machine where a straight sticking-out pipe would be a hazard.
