Sale price  $4.00 Regular price  $12.99

Make clean 90° turns in a 1/4″ misting run. The Low/Mid-Pressure Elbow — 1/4″ keeps tubing from kinking and helps your layout look neat. Push the tube in and turn the corner with a compact bend.

What This Fitting Does

This elbow changes direction by 90° for 1/4″ OD tubing. It prevents sharp bends that can slow flow or crack lines. Corners stay tidy and pressure stays steady in low and mid-pressure systems.

Why Choose This Part

Pick this elbow when you want a quick, reliable corner without tools.

  • Compact bend for tight spaces
  • Fast, push-to-connect install
  • Helps prevent kinks and flattening
  • Reliable, leak-resistant seal when seated
  • Low-profile look for visible areas
  • Reusable with proper tube prep

Compatibility & Use Cases

Use this elbow at posts, beams, or frame edges where a straight run must turn. Match to standard 1/4″ OD tubing in low or mid-pressure layouts. Support nearby tubing so the fitting is not under strain. For clips, unions, and other routing parts, visit Misting Accessories.

Care & Maintenance

Check fittings at the start of each season. If a tube end looks nicked or oval, trim a fresh, square end and reinstall. Keep lines supported so fittings do not carry weight.

Troubleshooting

  • Drip at the elbow: Remove the tube, cut square, clean, and push to full seat.
  • Tube slips under load: Confirm full seating and add a support clip nearby.
  • Weak flow after the turn: Check upstream filter, pump output, and nozzle cleanliness.
