duotight - 8mm (5/16”) Female x 8mm (5/16”) Male Elbow

This high-quality Elbow Piece is specially engineered for compatibility with our premium EVABarrier Beer & Gas hosing range. It provides a secure, leak-proof right-angle connection that is ideally suited for 4mm ID and 5mm ID double-wall tubing options, as well as most standard hosing lines featuring an 8mm OD. Using elbow fittings helps prevent tubing kinks, optimizes fluid dynamic flow, and ensures clean, space-efficient routing inside tight draft setups, kegerators, or commercial dispense rigs.

Please note that this specific fitting is designed strictly for 8mm outer diameter tubing and will not fit larger 9.5mm OD EVABarrier line. If you are working with larger tubing dimensions, we offer dedicated 9.5mm duotight elbow fittings and adapters separately to suit your system requirements.

Applications & Compatibility

• Benchy Range: Have a Benchy Carbon, Glycol, Nitro or Zero with limited space? Use these to fit your lines in those tight spaces.
  
• 8mm duotight Range: Need a right angle immediately after using another 8mm duotight? MacGyver it together with this piece.

8mm Tubing Compatibility

This 8mm duotight fitting is optimised for use with EVABarrier Dual Barrier Line. It is compatible with:

• KL06224: 4mm ID x 8mm OD | 12m
• KL06231: 5mm ID x 8mm OD | 12m
• KL42741: 5mm ID x 8mm OD | 12m (Red)
• KL42765: 4mm ID x 8mm OD | 12m (Black Lightshield)

The duotight Generation 2 Difference

Why settle for standard push-in fittings? duotight Generation 2 represents a massive leap in engineering over traditional acetal fittings.

Dual-Material Double O-Ring Design

The secret to our superior seal is a two-stage system using two different high-quality materials:

1. EPDM O-Ring: Provides exceptional chemical and gas resistance.
2. Silicone O-Ring: Maintains its shape and elasticity in sub-zero temperatures.

High-Performance Materials (POK)

Instead of standard Acetal, Generation 2 fittings are made from Polyketone (POK).

• Higher Chemical Resistance: Withstands harsh brewery cleaners.
• UV Protection: Won't become brittle over time.
• Extreme Durability: Rated for over 300psi @ 25°C.

User-Friendly Features

• Color-Coded Collets: Black denotes 8mm (5/16").
• Depth Indicators: Includes >| |< indicators so you know the hose is fully seated.
• No Clamps Necessary: Simply push to seal; push the collet to release.

We recommend using a Tube Cutter to ensure a perfectly straight, burr-free cut. An angled cut is the #1 cause of leaks in push-fit systems.
