Prevost Brass Elbow

Description

Prevost Brass Elbow

High-Flow 90-Degree Directional Coupling for Rigid Systems

The Prevost Brass Elbow is a premium industrial fitting designed to create a precise 90-degree turn in pneumatic and fluid distribution lines. Unlike “street” elbows that mix thread genders, the standard Brass Elbow features dual female threads of the same size, making it the ideal component for joining two male-threaded pipes or fittings at a right angle.

Constructed from high-tensile forged brass, this elbow is built to provide maximum flow efficiency and structural strength in demanding workshop and factory environments.

Key Features

• 90-Degree Precision Bend: Allows for clean, sharp turns in piping layouts, helping to keep air lines organized and tucked against walls or machine frames.
• Dual Female Threading: Features identical internal threads on both ports, providing a secure connection point for male-threaded nipples, hose barbs, or sensors.
• Optimized Internal Flow: The interior of the elbow is machined to minimize air turbulence. This ensures that your tools receive consistent pressure and volume with minimal flow restriction.
• Corrosion-Resistant Forged Brass: Naturally resistant to rust and chemical oxidation.¹ It is highly compatible with compressed air, water, oil, and inert gases, ensuring a long service life even in humid conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Structural Walls: Designed with a thick-walled body that resists cracking under the mechanical stress of system vibration or high-torque installation.²

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

• Corner Piping: Navigating air lines around corners or obstacles in a rigid copper or brass pipe installation.
• Manifold Construction: Changing the orientation of a secondary air drop to prevent hose kinking.
• Gauge Positioning: Mounting pressure gauges or switches at a 90-degree angle for better visibility in tight control panels.
• Tool Station Setups: Directing air supply lines downward from a ceiling drop to a workbench station.

Why Choose Prevost Forged Fittings?

Standard cast fittings often contain microscopic air bubbles (porosity) that can lead to “weeping” leaks over time. Prevost elbows are manufactured using a forging process that compresses the metal, creating a much denser and stronger fitting. This results in a component that can handle significantly higher pressures and more frequent thermal cycling without failure.
