TruDesign 90° Hose Tail – Long Thread Male BSP Composite Elbow
Achieve clean, efficient hose routing in tight spaces with the TruDesign 90° Hose Tail (Long Thread Male)—a premium composite elbow fitting designed for reliable marine plumbing installations.
Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, this fitting delivers exceptional strength, durability, and impact resistance, while remaining lightweight and easy to install. Unlike traditional metal fittings, it is completely corrosion and electrolysis free, making it ideal for long-term use in saltwater environments.
The long BSP threaded design provides deep thread engagement, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant connection when installed into ball valves, skin fittings, or other threaded marine components.
Its 90° elbow configuration allows hoses to be routed neatly around corners, reducing kinking and stress on hoses—improving system reliability and extending hose life.
Designed with twin hose barb ribs, the fitting provides excellent grip under hose clamps, preventing hose slippage and crushing under load.
Built for harsh marine conditions, this hose tail is resistant to fuel, chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring long service life across a wide range of applications.
