An Equal Hosetail Elbow is a fitting used in fluid or gas systems to connect two hoses at a 90° angle, typically for directing the flow of liquids or gases around obstacles or through a corner. The term “equal” refers to the fact that both ends of the elbow fitting have the same diameter, making it suitable for connecting two hoses of the same size. The hosetail ends are designed with barbed connections, allowing hoses to be securely attached by sliding the hose over the barbs and fastening it with hose clamps to ensure a tight seal.
This type of fitting is commonly used in applications such as hydraulic systems, water lines, irrigation systems, and pneumatic setups. Equal Hosetail Elbows provide durability and resistance to corrosion, depending on the nature of the fluid or gas being transported. Their 90° design makes them ideal for applications where space is constrained or where a change in direction is needed without changing the hose diameter.
