Review on Stainless Steel Elbow Fitting by DERNORD by Jerry Delic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well designed for high flow domestic use. 3/4 inch silicone hose fitting

This is sold as a homebrew fitting which requires it to be used threaded, which is wrapped with Teflon tubing tape. Initially, I noticed that NPT threads have a minimum pitch diameter that precludes their use in high pressure piping systems, but for use in 3/4" OD and 1/2" ID inch silicone tubing, to create a high flow arc by sliding on a 3/4 hose fitting, that's excellent. Three turns of tape on the thread, which he puts together correctly. I have used several Dernord products including their tube filter and respect their products as quality imports.

Pros
  • Barb fitting creates an airtight seal on flexible and semi-rigid hose when used with clamp, ferrule or ferrule
Cons
  • Available in white only
