Internal hexagon socket allows tightening with a hexagon wrench in confined spaces.

Hexagon head of the body allows tightening with a box wrench in confined spaces.

Basically, it is used together with male elbow. Different point is that it is used for fittings to avoid interfering with each other by making the piping multi-level.

Re-piping is possibleFace sealRepeated re-piping some 6 to 10 times is possible due to use of elastic sealant on seating.

SealantPipe tape is necessary because sealant becomes separated with repeated installation.

Prevention of sealant residue/protrusionExisting sealant type leaves residue and protrudes out from the threading when installing, making it necessary to clear away the residue using an air blower or similar. However, no residue is created when using a face seal.

• Innovative design improvements result in a much more effective release button mechanism

• The button releases the collet to remove the tube as well as to prevent the chuck from biting too deeply into the tubing
