Anderson Metals 50065 Brass Compression Tube Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, 3/8" x 3/8" Tube OD,50065-06

This Anderson Metals 50065 90-degree elbow is a brass compression tube fitting for tubing with a 3/8" outside diameter (OD). The 90-degree elbow fitting, or "ell," connects two tubes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. Its three-piece construction – nut, sleeve, and body with attached insert – connect to tubing for a leak-resistant seal in high-pressure, high-vacuum, and high-vibration applications. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. This fitting has an operating temperature range of -65 to + 250 degrees F and is suitable for use in water, oil, natural gas, and steam applications.

Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
