This is Watson Industries Elbow flow control pneumatic fitting that has a 8mm Push-In Fitting on one end, and a 1/4" BSP male thread on the other side with PTFE tape already conveniently applied. It has a fine adjustment that controls a needle to limit flow. This is a real value proposition due to its price to quality ratio. It is very popular in the United Kingdom.
Flow Control Elbow Fitting
Flow control, or speed control, fittings allows for an operator to adjust flow into or out of a pneumic component. This can alter instroke or outsroke speeds amongst other variables. This fitting is in an elbow or L-shape. Fine adjustment via a needle valve.
Push-In Fitting Usage
With Push-In fittings, simply place your tubing into the tube end of the fitting, and lock jaws will engage to. A gentle tug will ensure that your tubing is locked into place, rendering it suitable for high pressure usage in pneumatic systems.
To disconnect the tubing, push the release ring. This disengages the lock jaws, and the tubing is able to move freely.
