PU Elbow Fitting for Neat, Kink-Free Air Lines
Air lines rarely run in straight lines. They turn corners around machine frames, panels and cylinders. If you bend PU tubing too tightly, it kinks, restricts the airflow and slows your machine. A PU elbow fitting turns the line through 90° cleanly, with no kink and no loss of flow. At Wisdo Merchants, we stock PU elbow fittings in 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm sizes for factories, packaging lines, workshops and maintenance teams across Nairobi and Kenya.
This elbow is a push-in pipe fitting that joins two PU tubes at a right angle. Each end has a collet that grips the tube and an O-ring that seals around it. You simply push the tube in to connect, and press the release collar to disconnect. As a result, you can route air lines tightly around machines in minutes, without special tools.
Features and Benefits of the PU Elbow Fitting
- Clean 90° turn. It changes direction without kinking the tube or choking the airflow.
- Five sizes in stock. Choose 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm or 16 mm to match your PU tubing.
- Fast push-in connection. Push the tube in to connect, and press the collar to release it.
- Leak-free seal. An internal O-ring seals tightly around the tube.
- Neater machines. Tight, tidy routing keeps tubing clear of moving parts.
For maintenance teams, this means quicker installs and fewer kinked or worn lines. Meanwhile, owners get machines that run at full air pressure.

Applications of the PU Elbow Fitting and How to Use It
- Turning air lines around machine frames and corners
- Routing tubing inside control panels
- Connecting lines to cylinders and valves in tight spaces
- Packaging, bottling and food processing machines
- Replacing kinked bends in existing air lines
Turning a Line Around a Machine Frame
Picture a technician fixing a kinked air line that keeps slowing a cylinder. First, they shut off and exhaust the air supply. Next, they cut out the kinked section with a sharp tube cutter, making both ends square. After that, they push one tube end fully into the PU elbow fitting, then push the other end into the second port. Finally, they tug each tube gently to confirm it’s held, restore the air and check the joint for leaks.
Matching Tubing and Fittings
Always match the elbow to your tubing size. For colour-coded lines, use our blue air line tubing. To keep an eye on moisture in the line, use our transparent air tubing. For straight connections and threaded ports, see our push-in air fittings.
Safety and Handling
- Depressurise first. Shut off and exhaust the air before connecting or removing any fitting.
- Cut tubes square. Angled or crushed ends don’t seal and may pull out.
- Push the tube in fully. A half-inserted tube can blow out under pressure.
- Match the size. Use the elbow that matches your tube’s outside diameter.
- Don’t exceed the rating. Keep within the working pressure of the fitting and tubing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sizes do you stock?
We stock PU elbow fittings for 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm tubing. Choose your size from the options on this page.
Why use an elbow instead of bending the tube?
Tight bends kink PU tubing and restrict the airflow. An elbow makes a clean 90° turn with full flow.
How do I remove the tube?
Exhaust the air first. Then press the release collar towards the fitting and pull the tube out.
Can I reuse the elbow?
Yes, as long as the collet and O-ring are in good condition and you cut the tube end fresh.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
