Manufactured from steel and designed for metric tube connections, the Steel Metric Flareless Fitting, 18.00 mm L Series Union Elbow provides a 90-degree change in flow direction without the need for flared tube ends. The flareless design relies on a bite-type ring to grip and seal the tube, making it well suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits where reliable, leak-resistant connections are a priority.
Supplied by Eaton Aeroquip under catalog number C1KW95, this L Series fitting is built for use in industrial hydraulic systems handling oils, fluids, and compatible media. The union configuration allows two tube ends to be joined directly, with no additional adapter required. Its metric sizing and flareless construction align with DIN-standard hydraulic circuit assemblies commonly found in mobile and stationary industrial equipment.

got a 90-degree turn to make in a metric hydraulic line and don't want to deal with flared ends, this the kind of fitting that'd handle that?
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 4, 2025, 6:42 PM
For a 90-degree direction change on a metric tube run, that's exactly what this fitting is built for. The union elbow joins two tube ends directly at a right angle using a bite-type ring that grips and seals without any flaring required. Both sides of the connection are handled by the same fitting, so no additional adapter is needed to complete the joint. It's suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits running oils and compatible hydraulic fluids, and the sizing and construction line up with DIN-standard assemblies common in industrial and mobile equipment.

trying to hook two metric tubes together and make a 90, do i need to flare the ends for this union elbow?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 12, 2026, 3:30 PM
No flare is needed. It is a metric flareless union elbow, so it seals by using a bite type ring that grips the tube and makes the seal, then the elbow turns the flow 90 degrees while joining two tube ends directly.
