Prevost Conex Male Elbow NPT & UNF

Description

Prevost Conex Male Elbow

Reliable 90° Routing for Standard Pneumatic Systems

The Prevost Conex Male Elbow is a versatile, professional-grade push-to-connect fitting designed for everyday industrial pneumatic applications. While the “Micro” series handles miniature tasks, the standard Conex line is the “workhorse” for routing air to cylinders, valves, and air tools.

Featuring a 90-degree bend and a high-performance swivel base, this elbow allows for clean, organized tubing runs that prevent kinks and minimize stress on your air lines.

Key Features

• 360° Swivel Design: The elbow body can be rotated fully around the threaded base after installation. This allows you to position the tubing in the exact direction required, making it easy to align lines even after the fitting is tightened into a port.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: Equipped with a high-strength stainless steel gripping ring. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the fitting for an immediate, airtight, and vibration-resistant connection.
• Full-Flow Internal Bore: Designed to maximize air volume and minimize pressure drop. The smooth internal transition at the 90-degree turn ensures your pneumatic actuators receive the power they need for peak performance.
• Durable Composite & Brass Construction: Combines a high-impact technical polymer body with a nickel-plated brass threaded base. This hybrid design offers the perfect balance of lightweight maneuverability and heavy-duty mechanical strength.
• Pre-Applied Thread Sealant: Most NPT and BSP models come with a pre-applied sealant or an integrated O-ring. This eliminates the need for Teflon tape, saving time during installation and ensuring a leak-free seal from the very first turn.

Optimizing Your Pneumatic Layout

Standard straight fittings often force tubing into wide, awkward loops that can snag on moving machinery or take up excessive space. The Prevost Conex Male Elbow allows for “low-profile” routing, keeping your air lines tight against the machine frame or manifold. This not only looks more professional but also protects the tubing from accidental mechanical damage.

Ideal Applications

• Cylinder Porting: Connecting air lines to the end-caps of pneumatic cylinders in automated machinery.
• Manifold Distribution: Routing air from a central PPS drop to multiple independent tools or valves.
• General Workshop Air: Used on workbench regulators, filter-lubricator (FRL) units, and stationary pneumatic equipment.
• Packaging & Conveying: Reliable air delivery for high-cycle pick-and-place and sorting systems.

Installation Tip

To disconnect the tubing, ensure the system is depressurized, then press the release collar firmly toward the fitting body. This retracts the stainless steel teeth, allowing the tube to be pulled out without any damage to its outer surface.
