Overview
The WE Series Single Ferrule Hydraulic Male Elbow connects metric hydraulic tubing to a female threaded port while changing the flow direction by 90 degrees.
The tube side uses a 24° cutting-ring connection system, while the male stud side is selected according to the required port thread and sealing configuration.
Available male-thread options include BSPT, BSPP, NPT, Metric and UN/UNF, with specific thread sizes and sealing arrangements selected according to the mating port and application requirements.
LL, L and S series are available for different tube sizes and system requirements.

Tube Series & Size Options
WE Series Male Elbows are available in LL (Extra-Light), L (Light) and S (Heavy) series.
Standard catalogue configurations cover the following metric tube sizes:
Series | Tube O.D. |
|---|---|
LL — Extra-Light | 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 mm |
L — Light | 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 28, 35, 42 mm* |
S — Heavy | 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 25, 30, 38 mm* |
*Available tube-size and thread combinations vary by male-thread and sealing configuration. Confirm the required combination when requesting a quotation.
Male-Thread & Sealing Options
Different port standards require different thread and sealing arrangements. Specify the mating port whenever possible rather than selecting a thread designation alone.
Male-End Type | Typical Interface |
|---|---|
BSPT | Tapered male thread |
NPT | Tapered male thread |
BSPP | Parallel male thread with configuration-specific sealing arrangement |
Metric | Metric male thread with configuration-specific sealing arrangement |
UN/UNF | Straight male thread with configuration-specific sealing arrangement |
The exact stud-end geometry, seal type and available thread sizes depend on the selected configuration.
For replacement requirements, provide the existing part number, thread specification, drawing or mating-port details where available.
Working Pressure
Working pressure depends on the selected tube series, tube O.D., thread configuration and complete assembled system.
Representative pressure ratings for the 24° cutting-ring side are:
Series / Tube O.D. | Working Pressure |
|---|---|
LL: 4–12 mm | 100 bar / 1450 psi |
L: 6–18 mm | 315 bar / 4560 psi |
L: 22–42 mm | 160 bar / 2320 psi |
S: 6–14 mm | 630 bar / 9130 psi |
S: 16–30 mm | 400 bar / 5800 psi |
S: 38 mm | 315 bar / 4560 psi |
These values should not be applied independently of the selected male-thread configuration. The allowable working pressure of the complete connection is determined by the applicable fitting configuration, mating port, tube specification, material, wall thickness, operating temperature and other system conditions.
For pressure-critical applications, provide the complete tube and port specifications together with the required operating pressure and temperature for technical review.
Size & Configuration Information
The WE Series combines a 24° cutting-ring metric tube connection with a 90° male stud connection.
Tube O.D., LL/L/S series, male-thread type, thread size and sealing configuration are selected according to the mating port and system requirements. Available combinations and dimensions vary by configuration.
Configuration-specific ordering numbers and dimensional information can be provided for quotation and technical review.
Materials
316 stainless steel is the standard material for this series.
Material selection should take into account the fluid medium, operating environment, temperature, corrosion requirements and mating components.
Specify the required material together with the tube size, thread configuration and quantity when requesting a quotation.
Installation & System Considerations
Correct assembly is important to the performance of a 24° hydraulic tube connection.
Tube preparation and cutting-ring assembly should follow the applicable procedure for the selected tube size and series. The male stud must match the thread standard, thread size and sealing arrangement of the mating female port.
Do not select a male stud solely by nominal thread size where different thread standards or sealing methods may use similar dimensions.
Tube dimensions, wall thickness and material should be compatible with the selected fitting and operating conditions.
For critical hydraulic applications, provide the complete tube specification, mating-port information and operating conditions for review.
