These brass elbow hose tail reducer fittings solve both problems in a single compact component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach fitting is machined from solid brass and features a 90° elbow body with two barbed ports of different diameters, allowing you to connect hoses of different sizes at a right angle. Available sizes range from 6mm to 12mm on the larger port and 4mm to 10mm on the smaller port — for example, 6-4mm (≈1\/4\" to 5\/32\"), 8-6mm (≈5\/16\" to 1\/4\"), 10-8mm (≈3\/8\" to 5\/16\"), and 12-10mm (≈1\/2\" to 3\/8\").
