Aluminum Elbows 45° 90° - High Performance Turbo Intercooler Fittings

What is an aluminum elbow for turbo systems? An aluminum elbow is a bent tubular fitting machined or cast from 6061-T6 or 6063 aluminum alloy, designed to connect silicone hoses in turbocharger and intercooler systems. REDOX aluminum elbows provide superior structural rigidity, optimal heat dissipation and pressure resistance up to 145 PSI, essential for high-performance applications where temperatures exceed 392°F and pressures reach 58 PSI under intensive use, meeting SAE and ISO standards.

Which turbo and performance applications? Gasoline and diesel boost systems, turbo-to-intercooler connections, air-to-air and air-to-water heat exchanger inlet/outlet, high-performance intake systems, competition boost systems up to 43 PSI, aftermarket turbo conversions, motorsport high-flow kits, industrial compressed air applications, high-pressure pneumatic systems, naturally aspirated performance retrofits and engine tuning stages 1 through 3.
