Shurflo Wingnut Swivel Elbow Fitting, 1/2 Inch NPT x 5/8 Inch Barb

The Shurflo Wingnut Swivel Elbow is a 90-degree fitting used to connect rigid NPT-threaded water system components to flexible hose lines in onboard freshwater systems. One end threads onto a 1/2 inch NPT port while the other end terminates in a 5/8 inch barb for securing standard water hose. The fitting features a swivel wingnut connection at the threaded end, which lets you rotate and finger-tighten the elbow into position without twisting the hose, making it easier to align plumbing runs in tight spaces such as under sinks, near pumps, or behind water heaters. This design also simplifies future disassembly for maintenance or winterizing, since the wingnut can be loosened by hand without tools in most cases. The elbow shape allows a 90-degree change in direction, reducing strain on hose and fittings compared to running hose at a sharp bend. It is a lightweight, compact component intended for use in marine and RV freshwater plumbing systems.
