Prevost Conex Extended Male Elbow

Description

Prevost Conex Extended Male Elbow

Heightened Clearance for Complex Pneumatic Manifolds

The Prevost Conex Extended Male Elbow is a specialized push-to-connect fitting designed to solve clearance issues in crowded pneumatic systems. While a standard elbow sits flush against the mounting port, the Extended version features an elongated neck. This extra height allows the tubing run to “leapfrog” over adjacent fittings, wires, or mechanical obstructions, making it an essential component for high-density manifold blocks and compact machinery.

By raising the pivot point of the 90 degree turn, this fitting enables cleaner routing and prevents tubing from being pinched or stressed by surrounding components.

Key Features

• Elongated “Extended” Neck: The increased vertical profile provides the necessary clearance to route tubing over the top of standard-height fittings. This is the ultimate solution for “stacking” lines on a multi-port manifold.
• 360° Swivel Capability: The elbow body rotates fully around the threaded base even after installation. This allows for precise orientation of the tubing exit, ensuring the most direct and stress-free path for your air lines.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Features Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the port for an immediate, vibration-proof, and airtight seal—no tools or clamps required.
• Full-Flow Internal Geometry: Despite the extended neck, the internal bore is precision-engineered to maintain maximum airflow. This ensures zero pressure drop and consistent performance for downstream actuators.
• Rugged Hybrid Construction: Combines a high-strength nickel-plated brass threaded base for mechanical durability with a high-impact technical polymer body that resists corrosion, moisture, and common industrial oils.

The Problem-Solver for High-Density Layouts

In modern automation, control valves are often placed in tight clusters. When using standard elbows, the tubing from one valve often blocks the access or adjustment of the valve next to it. The Prevost Conex Extended Male Elbow allows you to stagger the heights of your tubing runs. By alternating between standard and extended elbows on a manifold, you can create a “multi-level” routing system that is organized, easy to troubleshoot, and visually professional.

Ideal Applications

• Multi-Port Manifolds: Stacking air lines to avoid interference between adjacent ports.
• Tight Enclosures: Routing tubing over the top of internal components or wiring looms.
• Cylinder Ports: Providing extra clearance for tubing when a cylinder is mounted close to a machine frame or guard.
• Custom Machine Building: Creating complex, multi-layered pneumatic logic circuits in confined spaces.

Installation Tip

When installing on a manifold, it is often best to install your standard-height elbows first, followed by the Extended Male Elbows. This allows you to tuck the lower lines in tightly while the extended lines pass cleanly over the top. Always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure a square end for a perfect, leak-free seat.
