6mm Tube × 4mm Tube Reducing Elbow
This Pneuforce reducing elbow connects 6mm tubing to 4mm tubing while changing the direction of the pneumatic or vacuum line by 90 degrees. It provides a compact push-to-connect solution where both tube-size reduction and a directional change are required.
The lightweight engineering polymer body provides excellent dimensional stability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance for industrial pneumatic installations.

Reduce Tube Size and Change Direction
Unlike a standard union elbow, this reducing elbow connects two different outside-diameter tube sizes. It is useful when a larger main line must transition to a smaller branch or component connection without adding a separate reducer and elbow.
Key Features
- Connects 6mm tube to 4mm tube
- Combines tube-size reduction with a 90-degree directional change
- Compact alternative to using a separate reducer and elbow
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant engineering polymer body
- Stainless steel gripping claws for secure tube retention
- NBR seals for compressed air and vacuum service
- Click-Click audible and tactile feedback during grip-collar disengagement
Typical Applications
- Reducing a pneumatic branch line around machinery or panel corners
- Connecting smaller valves, cylinders or actuators to a larger supply tube
- Compact pneumatic control panels
- Vacuum automation and pick-and-place equipment
- Machine building and OEM equipment
- Maintenance modifications where tube size and direction must both change
Installation Note: Confirm the outside diameter of both tube connections before ordering. Cut tubing squarely and push each tube fully into the correct side of the fitting. To remove tubing, depress the grip collar; the Click-Click sound and feel indicate collar disengagement during tube release.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a reducing elbow fitting do?+
A reducing elbow connects two different tube sizes while turning the line through 90 degrees. This model connects 6mm tubing to 4mm tubing.
How is this different from a standard union elbow?+
A standard union elbow normally connects equal tube sizes. A reducing elbow has two different tube connections, allowing the line to reduce in size as it changes direction.
Can this reducing elbow be used for vacuum?+
Yes. It is suitable for industrial compressed air and vacuum applications when used with compatible tubing and within the rated conditions of the system.
What does the Click-Click feature do?+
The Click-Click feature provides audible and tactile feedback when the grip collar is depressed during tube release. It relates to disengagement of the gripping mechanism, not tube insertion.
Can this fitting be used for potable water?+
No. This P-Series fitting is intended for industrial pneumatic and vacuum service and is not approved for potable water. For potable water applications, use the Pneuforce S-Series stainless steel push-to-connect range.
