 Elbow
- 90° 
These hose fittings are used in
various industries as they are useful in connecting the ends of hoses.
The ends are connected to each other at an angle of 90 degree. A 90°
elbow allows for a 90° change in direction and frequently includes
a curve or radius. Hose elbows are available in different sizes, colors
and materials, depending on their nature of application and the
industry.
90 degree hose fitting elbows are used in fluid plumbing applications
requiring 90 degree connection, to a FPT fitting and a hose. Commonly
used materials for manufacturing hose elbows are silicone, metals and
plastics.
To impart the desired properties, these materials are given the
requisite treatment. For instance, in Polypropylene Hose Barbs (90
Degree Elbows) precision molded poly is reinforced with fiberglass for
additional strength.
Some of the features of hose elbows, 90 degree, are:
- They are molded to fit properly into hoses.
- A combination of sizes is manufactured for elbows and straight
barbs.
- Excellent chemical and thermal resistance.
- Good pressure tolerances at various temperatures.
