Product Information
Full details
This 45-degree elbow is for woodworkers needing to route dust extractor hose around workshop corners. Its key benefit is providing smoother airflow compared to bending flexible hose, reducing dust extraction strain. A caveat is that it requires separate hose clamps for secure attachment. This fitting is designed to connect to 65mm internal diameter dust hose, offering a more efficient path for dust extraction systems.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of using this elbow?
The main benefit is to provide a smoother airflow around corners compared to bending flexible hose, which reduces resistance and strain on your dust extraction system.
What size dust hose does this elbow fit?
This elbow is designed for dust hoses with a 65mm internal diameter (e.g., Charnwood product code 65FLEX).
Do I need anything else to install this elbow?
Yes, you will need two 65mm hose clamps (product code 65HC) to securely attach the hose to the elbow.
Can I connect this elbow to rigid pipe?
Yes, you can connect it to rigid PVC tube or other fittings using a connector sleeve (product code 63SL).
Are there different angle options available?
Yes, elbows are available in both 45-degree (this model) and 90-degree configurations.
How should I clean the elbow?
You can clean the interior with a dry cloth or brush to remove dust and debris. Ensure it is dry before reconnecting.
Troubleshooting
Air leaks at the connection
Ensure hose clamps are tightened securely around the hose and elbow connection. Check for any damage to the hose end or the elbow fitting.
Reduced airflow after installation
Verify that the elbow is the correct size for your hose. Ensure there are no internal obstructions within the elbow or hose. Check that hose clamps are not constricting the hose excessively.
Elbow does not fit hose
Confirm you are using a 65mm internal diameter hose (product code 65FLEX). The elbow is specifically designed for this size.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Improves dust extraction efficiency by reducing airflow resistance around corners.
- Offers a cleaner, more professional workshop setup than bent hoses.
- Durable construction for long-term use in a workshop environment.
- Compatible with specific Charnwood dust hose and accessories for a complete system.
Cons
- Requires purchase of separate hose clamps for installation.
- Limited to 45-degree bends; a 90-degree version is available for tighter turns.
- Specific to 65mm hose diameter; not universally compatible with all dust extractors.
- Adds an extra connection point which could theoretically be a point of air leakage if not secured properly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have the Charnwood 65mm internal diameter dust hose (product code 65FLEX) and two 65mm hose clamps (product code 65HC).
- Slide the hose clamps onto the ends of the 65mm dust hose.
- Insert the end of the dust hose firmly into one end of the 45-degree elbow.
- Position the hose clamp over the connection point and tighten securely using a screwdriver.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other end of the elbow with the second hose or fitting.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for Charnwood 65mm internal diameter flexible dust hose (product code 65FLEX).
- Can be connected to rigid PVC tubing or other Charnwood fittings using a connector sleeve (product code 63SL).
- Requires two 65mm hose clamps (product code 65HC) for secure attachment.
Care:
- Keep the interior of the elbow clear of dust and debris. A quick wipe with a dry cloth or brush is usually sufficient.
- Periodically check hose clamp connections to ensure they remain tight and prevent air leaks.
- Store in a dry area when not in use.
