LOC-LINE Adjustable Hose System, manufactured by Lockwood Products Inc., has developed a new hose option for moderate pressure applications. The new ½" Extended Elbow when combined with Extended Elements and Element Clamps, allow the design of complete coolant hoses for higher volumes and increased pressures while maintaining precise positioning.
Curving 90 degrees over 2-1⁄8", the ½" Extended Elbow fits into tight spaces. Combine the ½" Element Clamps, Side Flow Nozzles or T Fittings and create a complete rigid circle around the cutter.

coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
