Prevost Conex 90 Degree Equal Elbow

Description

Prevost Conex 90° Equal Elbow

Precision Directional Routing for Streamlined Air Systems

The Prevost Conex 90° Equal Elbow is a premium push-to-connect union designed to create a sharp, clean right-angle turn in pneumatic tubing runs. By allowing for a precise 90 degree change in direction without the need for large, sweeping loops of hose, this fitting enables more compact machine designs and protects tubing from mechanical stress and kinking.

Engineered for industrial durability, the Conex Equal Elbow is the professional’s choice for organizing “tube-to-tube” connections in tight control cabinets and complex automated machinery.

Key Features

• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Features Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings on both ports. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the fitting for an immediate, vibration-proof, and airtight seal—no tools or clamps required.
• Space-Saving 90° Bend: Eliminates the need for wide-radius tubing bends that can take up valuable space. This elbow allows you to route air lines tightly along machine frames or inside narrow conduits.
• Full-Flow Internal Geometry: The internal bore is precision-molded to match the tubing diameter, ensuring that air travels through the turn with minimal turbulence and zero pressure drop.
• Rugged Composite Construction: Manufactured from high-impact technical polymer, this fitting is naturally resistant to corrosion, moisture, and common industrial oils. It provides a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution for long-term service.
• Rapid Disconnection: The ergonomic manual release collars allow you to disconnect the tubing instantly. By depressing the collar, the internal teeth retract, allowing the tube to be pulled out cleanly without scarring the surface.

Professional Logic for Pneumatic Layouts

The Prevost Conex 90° Equal Elbow is an essential component for achieving a “clean” pneumatic installation. In professional environments, air lines should be routed parallel or perpendicular to the machine frame. This elbow makes that possible, preventing the “spaghetti” effect of uncontrolled tubing. Furthermore, by relieving the “spring tension” of a bent hose, it prevents side-loading on other fittings, significantly reducing the risk of long-term leaks.

Ideal Applications

• Control Cabinets: Organizing dense tubing runs within narrow electrical/pneumatic enclosures.
• Machine Frame Routing: Keeping air lines tucked neatly into corners and away from moving parts.
• Robotic Limbs: Providing precise pivot points for air lines on articulating arms.
• Maintenance & Repair: Replacing kinked or damaged tubing sections with a clean splice.

Installation Best Practice

To ensure a 100% leak-free seal, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure your tubing ends are cut perfectly square. When inserting the tube into the elbow, push firmly until it “bottoms out” past the internal O-ring. A quick tug on each line will verify that the gripping mechanism is fully engaged.
