GENTLE TL Elbow Quick Coupler｜Threaded 90° Push-to-Connect

• Compact 90° Elbow Design: A tight-radius elbow keeps tubing neat along corners and in confined areas, reducing interference and routing length.
• Hex-Wrench Locking: Wrench flats above the threaded end enable precise torque application for stable, vibration-resistant seating.
• Pre-Coated Thread Sealant: Factory-applied sealant delivers reliable sealing in typical use; after repeated reassembly or in high-vibration sites, apply PTFE tape as needed to maintain peak airtightness.
• Quick Push-In Connection: The push-in port allows tool-free tube insertion/removal, cutting maintenance time and downtime costs.
• Broad Size & Thread Coverage: Supports 4–12 mm tubes with male threads from M5 to RC1/2, ensuring wide compatibility.
• Improved Bend & Flow: The elbow path prevents sharp kinks, lowering flow resistance and tube damage risk for better system reliability.
• Applications: Corner and wall-side runs, cylinder/valve corner terminations, valve-island take-offs, short hops on robot end-effectors, compact test/fixture modules, retrofit conversions from straight to elbow routing.

Q1: Where are TL elbow fittings best suited?
A: Tight automation layouts—machine corners, cylinder and valve ports, valve-island take-offs, and wall-side straight runs—where compact, tidy routing is required.

Q2: Threads are pre-coated; do I still need PTFE tape?
A: Typically no. After multiple reassemblies or under heavy vibration, apply a light wrap of PTFE tape per site practice to maintain sealing.

Q3: Which tube materials and sizes are supported?
A: Nylon (PA) and PU tubes, standard OD range 4–12 mm. Select the matching push-in size for your tubing.

Q4: How do I ensure a secure, leak-free installation?
A: Tighten via the wrench flats to proper seating; cut the tube square, deburr, and insert fully into the push-in port. Observe the hose's minimum bend radius.

Q5: What's the advantage versus straight fittings?
A: The elbow avoids sharp bends in cramped spaces, improving airflow and reducing tube damage while keeping routing compact.

Q6: Will sealing degrade after repeated servicing?
A: Pre-applied sealant can diminish after multiple cycles. Supplement with PTFE tape as needed and inspect threads/sealing faces for wear or contamination.

Q7: Is it suitable for vacuum or higher-pressure service?
A: Primarily intended for compressed air. For vacuum, higher pressure, or special media, verify compatibility and proof pressure against the datasheet and your conditions.
