Dixon lists copper, aluminum and thermoplastic tubing, while excluding steel tubing and applications using gaseous media.
Choose tubing and service before the elbow
Select this elbow for compatible copper, aluminum or thermoplastic tubing in a suitable low-to-medium-pressure application. Avoid excessive vibration or tube movement, and check temperature-dependent tubing limits before finalizing the connection.
Selection & Installation
Compatible tubing: Dixon lists copper, aluminum and thermoplastic tubing. Steel tubing is not recommended. Match the tubing dimensions and connection geometry, then verify the tubing manufacturer’s limits for the intended operating conditions.
Temperature and operating limits: Dixon notes that tubing type and temperature affect working pressure, with stated pressure ratings referenced to 73°F (23°C). For thermoplastic tubing, follow its manufacturer’s pressure and temperature recommendations for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tubing materials are listed?
Dixon lists copper, aluminum and thermoplastic tubing, but does not recommend steel tubing. Match the actual tubing dimensions and follow its manufacturer’s applicable pressure and temperature limits.
Can this elbow be used with gaseous media?
No. Dixon’s safety notes state that applications using gaseous media are not recommended. Select a fitting explicitly documented for the intended gas application instead of assuming compression compatibility.
Why does tubing temperature matter?
Dixon states that tubing type and temperature affect working pressure, with ratings referenced to 73°F (23°C). For thermoplastic tubing, follow the tubing manufacturer’s pressure and temperature recommendations.
