FLEXAquick® Metal Thread 45° Elbow Fittings

FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings provide fast, secure, and tool-free conduit termination with a durable nickel-plated brass threaded connection in a 45° configuration. Designed for gradual directional routing, these fittings support controlled conduit transitions where a full 90° angle is not required.

Select models include a swivel threaded end, allowing post-installation adjustment for improved alignment during assembly. These fittings integrate seamlessly with ROHRflex® flexible corrugated conduits to support efficient installation in industrial and automation environments.

FLEXAquick® quick-connect fittings and ROHRflex® flexible corrugated conduits are flagship product lines from IBIS Electro-Products Corp, specializing in high-performance electrical conduit systems.

⚡ No Tools Required — Install in Seconds

FLEXAquick® quick-connect fittings eliminate deburring, ferrules, extra internal sealing rings, and clamping compression rings. Simply push to connect, squeeze to release, and reinstall with no tools — saving time and labour compared to traditional conduit fittings.

Why FLEXAquick® Metal Thread 45° Elbow Fittings Stand Out

FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings use an integrated quick-connect locking clip that securely engages conduit corrugations without tools. Unlike traditional compression elbows that require ferrules and tightening hardware, these fittings install or remove in seconds while maintaining secure conduit retention.

The 45° configuration provides a gradual directional change compared to a right-angle elbow, reducing stress on conduit runs and supporting clean routing transitions. Select models include a swivel threaded end for post-installation orientation adjustment where improved alignment is required.

The nickel-plated brass thread design supports higher installation torque and provides a robust threaded connection in applications subject to vibration, impact, or mechanical stress.

Applications for FLEXAquick® Metal Thread 45° Elbow Fittings

FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings are designed to support higher installation torque and provide a robust threaded connection, while the 45° configuration enables gradual conduit routing where a smoother directional transition is preferred over a sharp right angle.

Frequently Asked Questions — FLEXAquick® Metal Thread 45° Elbow Fittings

No. FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings use a quick-connect locking design that eliminates the need for compression nuts, ferrules, and installation hand tools. The integrated clip locks onto ROHRflex® flexible corrugated conduits during installation and can be released using the integrated release ring.

FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings are available in multiple thread standards, including Metric, and PG. Refer to individual product pages to confirm available thread sizes and configurations.

No. The swivel threaded end feature is available on select FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow models such as RQBK45DR-M. This design allows the threaded portion of the fitting to rotate after installation to support precise conduit alignment without additional tools. Refer to individual product specifications to confirm whether a specific model includes this feature.

FLEXAquick® metal thread fittings use nickel-plated brass threads, which offer higher mechanical strength and enhanced retention compared with plastic thread fittings. This makes metal threads well suited for applications requiring higher installation torque or resistance to vibration and mechanical stress. Plastic thread fittings remain effective in many industrial environments and may be preferred where corrosion resistance or reduced weight is a priority.

Ingress protection performance varies by fitting design and configuration. FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings are available with IP68 and IP69K ratings when installed in accordance with individual product specifications.

Yes. FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings are engineered to integrate with ROHRflex® flexible corrugated conduits as part of a complete conduit system. Compatibility with other corrugated plastic conduits of the same outside diameter (OD) should be verified prior to installation.

Yes. FLEXAquick® metal thread 45° elbow fittings are designed to support repeat mounting and dismounting when used as intended. Unlike traditional compression fittings, they do not rely on deformation of ferrules or tightening of compression nuts to maintain connection.

Need Assistance Selecting the Right 45° Elbow Fitting?
