Designed for metric tube connections in hydraulic systems, the Steel Metric Flareless Fitting, 18.00 mm L Series Union Swivel Elbow is an Eaton Aeroquip fitting built to handle the directional routing demands of industrial fluid circuits. The swivel elbow configuration allows angular positioning at assembly, reducing stress on connected tubing and simplifying installation in confined or awkward routing paths.
Manufactured to L Series flareless standards, this fitting uses a bite-type compression sleeve to secure the tube without flaring, making it well suited for high-pressure hydraulic lines where leak-free performance is critical. The union configuration joins two tube ends, while the swivel feature accommodates rotational adjustment before final tightening. At 18.00 mm, the fitting is sized for mid-range metric tube applications common in mobile and industrial hydraulic equipment. The catalog reference for this part is C1KX32.

got an 18mm metric tube line, is this the kind of elbow that lets you clock it where you need it before you tighten it down
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 28, 2025, 3:37 PM
With the union swivel elbow style, you can rotate and set the angle during assembly, then tighten it once the routing looks right. That swivel action helps in tight spots and cuts down on twist stress on the tubing.

Can this elbow fitting handle high-pressure hydraulic lines without leaking?

Got an 18 mm tube run that makes a hard turn in a tight spot on a mobile hydraulic unit. Would this union swivel elbow let me set the angle before I lock everything down, or does it fix the position right away?
Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 25, 2025, 9:02 PM
The swivel feature on this fitting lets you rotate and position the elbow before final tightening, so you can dial in the angle to match your tube run and then lock it in place. That's a real help when you're working in a cramped area where a fixed elbow would fight you the whole way. It connects two tube ends using the L Series flareless bite-type sleeve, so no flaring is needed on either side. Just get your angle right, torque it down, and you're set.
