GENTLE TL Mini Elbow Quick Coupler｜90° Threaded Push-in

• Ultra-Compact for Tight Routing: ~40% smaller / ~20% slimmer OD for dense layouts in control cabinets, behind panels, rail slots, and fixture corners.
• Clean 90° Elbow Turns: Optimized bend radius maintains smooth flow at right-angle corners, reducing kinks and pressure loss.
• Push-to-Connect, Fast Service: Insert fully to the stop to lock; press the release ring for quick, tool-free removal.
• Pre-Sealed Threads + Hex: M3/M5/M6/RC1/8–RC1/2 (BSPT) ship with sealant; typically no PTFE tape needed. Wrench flats above the thread ensure firm seating and precise orientation.
• Airtight & Vibration-Resistant: Metal collet + O-ring sealing deliver reliable performance within 0–0.9 MPa, 5–60 °C.
• Optimized Flow Path, Lower ΔP: Mini-series flow philosophy—straight bore and smooth turning—keeps airflow stable.
• Applications: High-density cabinets/control panels, cobot EOAT, jig/fixture corners, valve islands at panel edges, corner jumpers between modules, and compact robot-wrist runs.

Q1: How does TL differ from UL and TLL?
A: TL is a 90° elbow with one push-in tube port and one male thread. UL has two push-in ports (no thread). TLL is an extended TL for clearing recesses/obstructions.

Q2: What tube sizes/materials are supported?
A: 4–12 mm OD polyurethane and nylon (PA). Match tube OD to the fitting size for proper sealing and grip.

Q3: What thread types and sealing are provided?
A: M3/M5/M6/RC1/8–RC1/2 (BSPT) with factory-applied sealant; PTFE tape is usually unnecessary unless the sealant has been worn by repeated servicing.

Q4: Recommended installation sequence?
A: Tighten/orient the threaded end via the hex → cut the tube end square, deburr, clean/dry → push fully to the stop → pull-check → pressure-hold/leak-test.

Q5: Is it reusable? Any precautions?
A: Yes. Before reinsertion, re-cut a fresh section and keep the tube end square, clean, and dry. Nicks or ovalization can reduce sealing and retention.

Q6: Operating range and media guidance?
A: 0–0.9 MPa, 5–60 °C, primarily for compressed air. Avoid aggressive chemicals, long-term oil immersion, and high temperatures; validate special media on site.

Q7: Any tips for vibrating or moving assemblies?
A: Use nearby tube clamps/tie mounts to shorten unsupported spans and observe the tube's minimum bend radius to reduce fatigue.

Q8: How should I troubleshoot a minor leak?
A: Confirm full insertion with a passed pull-check, verify a clean/square tube cut, and remove any debris near the release ring area. If needed, re-cut and reconnect, then repeat the pressure-hold test.

Q9: What's the key difference vs. the standard TL?
A: TL (MINI) achieves similar flow and sealing performance in a significantly smaller envelope (~40%/~20% reduction), ideal for dense layouts and tight corners.
