Description
DOT push-in 45° male swivel elbow that connects 1/4″ OD nylon air-brake tubing to a 1/8″ male NPTF port through a 45° bend. The Midland 540402S is constructed of brass with a brass captive eyelet, a 90-durometer Buna-N O-ring, and pre-applied Teflon-based thread sealant; the swivel allows the elbow to be oriented after the male threads are seated. It is rated to 150 PSI and meets D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106 / SAE J1131 air brake requirements.
