Description

SL elbow speed controllers

SL speed controllers combine a male threaded connection, a right-angle push-in tube connection and a knurled flow-adjustment screw. A locknut beneath the adjusting head helps retain the setting. Choose the tube diameter, mating thread and required flow-control direction for the pneumatic circuit.

White-version construction and selection

The white version uses a plastic body and nickel-plated brass collar. Its tube release button and threaded end are shown below, including the applied thread sealant on the illustrated fitting.

Black-body version

The black-body version has a plastic housing and an oval tube-release ring. The ring rotates around the tube entry to provide access for disconnection. The adjustment head and locknut sit opposite the male threaded connection.

Tube connection and adjustment access
