Product Information

Full details

The Auto Bar 90 Degree Elbow Hose Joiner is a precision-engineered solution for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who need to route hoses through cramped engine bays without sacrificing fluid integrity. It is best suited for fuel, oil, water, and air systems where tight radius turns are required to prevent kinking, though users should ensure the 16mm sizing matches their specific hose diameter to maintain a secure, leak-free seal.

FAQs

Can I use this for high-pressure fuel lines?

This joiner is designed for standard automotive fluid routing; it is not intended for high-pressure fuel injection systems.

Is the material resistant to engine heat?

Yes, the material is formulated to handle the temperature fluctuations typical of an engine bay environment.

Does this come in sizes other than 16mm?

Yes, Auto Bar offers different variants like the PC26 and PC12 for various hose diameters.

Can this be used for oil cooler lines?

It is suitable for oil lines, provided the pressure and temperature remain within standard operating ranges for the material.

How do I ensure a leak-proof seal?

Ensure the hose is pushed completely past the barbs and that the included clip is tightened securely.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connection point

Verify that the clamp is positioned correctly over the barb and tightened fully; ensure the hose end is not cracked or deformed.

Difficult to slide hose onto the joiner

Use a small amount of non-petroleum based lubricant or warm the hose end slightly to improve flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates hose kinks in tight spaces
  • Versatile compatibility with fuel, oil, and water
  • Includes essential clips for secure installation
  • Rugged design for automotive longevity

Cons

  • Specific to 16mm hose dimensions
  • Requires proper clip seating to prevent potential leaks
  • Not suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your hose has a clean, square cut end to maximize surface contact with the joiner barbs. If the hose is difficult to push on, applying a light film of soapy water or silicone lubricant can assist the process.

  1. Slide the included clamp onto the hose before attaching it to the joiner.
  2. Push the hose fully onto the barb until it sits flush against the shoulder of the elbow.
  3. Position the clamp over the barbed section and tighten firmly.

Compatibility is strictly limited to 16mm inner diameter hoses. Regular maintenance involves checking the connection points during routine oil changes to ensure clamps have not loosened due to heat cycling.
