LF: 90 degree airline fitting

[nerdz]

Hello, looking for a simple 90degree/elbow fitting for airline tubing.

Just need 1 for a bean animal vent line

Cheers

If you have any acrylic airline tubes lying around, it is very easy to make a 90* elbow. Just heat with a lighter, and bend to whatever angle you want.

You should use 1/4" OD polyethylene tubing from the hardware store (ice-maker/fridge water supply tubing or RO tubing). Then you can use John Guest Quick Connect fittings also available at your hardware stores.

I know that's the typical way to do it... Those fittings are just so huge and bulky.

you might be able to get one at your lfs as part of an air stone kit. at the least you should be able to get a "t" fitting and just seal off one end with some crazy glue
