Design and durability

Machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminum, this fitting offers a balanced combination of stiffness and lightness. Its finish and precision tolerances promote smooth mating with compatible hoses, reducing the risk of misalignment during assembly. The 37-degree flare seat provides a reliable seal point without requiring excessive torque, which helps maintain hose integrity over time.

Compatibility and best practices

Ideal for high-pressure hose runs where a right-angle connection is beneficial. Pair with hoses that match the 5/16 inch barb and ensure clamps are used where recommended to maximize seal reliability. Avoid overtightening clamps, and verify fitment before pressurizing the system.

Installation quick start

• Choose a hose with an inner diameter that accommodates the 5/16 inch barb.
• Slide a suitable hose clamp onto the hose first.
• Push the barb end into the hose until it seats firmly.
• Position the clamp around the barb and tighten to an appropriate resistance.
• Inspect for leaks after assembly and recheck connections during initial operation.
