In the intricate world of HVAC/R installations, encountering tight spaces and challenging angles is a common hurdle. Traditional connection methods can make these situations even more complex, often requiring multiple fittings and time-consuming brazing. SmartLock introduces an innovative solution: the Elbow Swage Union (ELSW). This specialized fitting is engineered to seamlessly connect copper or aluminum tubes to a swage valve without the need for brazing, all while providing a crucial 90-degree angle for those hard-to-reach areas. The ELSW not only simplifies your work but also offers significant value by combining the functionalities of multiple fittings into one.

Benefits of Using the SmartLock Elbow Swage Union
Navigating Tight Corners with Ease
The standout feature of the SmartLock Elbow Swage Union is its ability to facilitate connections in confined or awkward spaces. The integrated 90-degree angle allows for a clean and efficient routing of refrigerant lines where a straight connection simply isn't feasible. This design eliminates the frustration and extra effort often associated with bending tubes or using multiple fittings to achieve the desired angle, making installations in compact units or crowded mechanical rooms significantly easier and faster.
Brazeless Installation for Speed and Safety
Like all SmartLock fittings, the Elbow Swage Union boasts a completely brazeless installation process. This means no open flames, no nitrogen purging, and no need for fire permits. The result is a dramatically expedited installation time and a safer work environment for technicians. By removing the complexities and hazards associated with brazing, the ELSW allows for quicker project completion, reducing labor hours and minimizing potential risks on the job site.
Cost-Effectiveness and Reduced Inventory
The SmartLock Elbow Swage Union offers exceptional value by replacing the need for two separate fittings: a traditional Swage Union (SWUN) and an Elbow Union (ELUN). This "two-in-one" design means contractors can achieve the same connection with a single, versatile fitting. This not only translates to direct cost savings on materials but also simplifies inventory management, reducing the number of different components you need to stock and track. It's a smarter, more economical approach to HVAC/R connections.
Reliable, Leak-Proof Connections
At the heart of the Elbow Swage Union's design is SmartLock's renowned metal-to-metal sealing technology. This advanced engineering ensures a robust, permanent, and leak-proof connection that stands the test of time. Unlike fittings that rely on rubber O-rings, which can degrade and fail, the ELSW provides superior integrity, even under high pressure. This reliability minimizes the risk of refrigerant leaks, reduces costly call-backs, and ensures the long-term performance of the HVAC/R system.
Optimize Your Installations with SmartLock ELSW
The SmartLock Elbow Swage Union is more than just a fitting; it's a strategic tool designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in your HVAC/R projects. By simplifying connections in tight spaces, eliminating brazing, and offering a versatile, reliable solution, the ELSW empowers contractors to work smarter, not harder.
