Overview
The ME Series 90° Double Ferrule Male Elbow connects fractional or metric tubing to a female threaded port while changing the flow direction by 90°. It is suited to instrumentation lines, valve and manifold ports, analyzers and equipment connections where a compact directional transition is required.
Fractional and metric tube sizes are available with multiple male NPT thread-size combinations for instrumentation, process control, sampling, testing and other industrial fluid systems.
Key Features
- 90° tube-to-male-thread connection
- Double ferrule tube connection
- Multiple male-thread and end-connection configurations
- Fractional and metric tube-size options
- Multiple tube O.D. and thread-size combinations

Connection & Size Options
ME Series Male Elbows are available for fractional and metric tubing with multiple male-end configurations. Common male-end configurations include NPT, ISO/BSP tapered, ISO/BSP parallel, SAE/MS straight thread and metric male thread. Tube O.D., male-end type and connection size are selected according to the required application. Available combinations vary by configuration.
Size & Configuration Information
Dimensions and ordering numbers vary by tube O.D., male-end type and connection size. Configuration-specific dimensional information can be provided for quotation and technical review.
Materials
316 stainless steel is the standard material for this series.
For corrosive or special-service requirements, Monel 400, Inconel 625, Super Duplex 2507 and other special alloys are available for applicable project configurations.
Specify the required material grade together with the tube size, thread size and quantity when requesting a quotation.
Pressure & Temperature Considerations
Allowable working pressure depends on the complete tube-fitting system rather than the Male Elbow body alone. Relevant factors include tubing material, tube O.D., wall thickness, operating temperature and the male threaded connection.
The pressure capability of the lowest-rated component or connection in the assembled system should be considered when determining allowable working pressure.
For pressure- or temperature-sensitive applications, provide the tubing specification, material, thread size, operating pressure and operating temperature for review.
Typical Applications
90° Double Ferrule Male Elbows are commonly used for:
- Pressure and flow measurement lines
- Valve and manifold connections
- Sampling and test systems
- Process-control tubing
- Equipment connections where the tubing direction must change by 90°
Selection & Ordering Information
To specify the required Male Elbow, provide:
- Tube O.D. — fractional or metric
- Male-end connection type
- Thread or connection size
- Material
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Quantity
Existing part numbers, drawings, specifications or product references can also be used for product matching and quotation review.
