...something like this?
-
I don't think anyone sells that but you could build it yourself easily. Get a 90 degree female elbow from Swagelok. Female foster to male threads, Male Foster to male threads.

But, probably not rated for your intended pressure.

Thanks for making this post. I can't believe I waited this long to assemble one of these, it is so much more convenient than a straight connector/strain relief.

It ain't inexpensive
But it sure is pretty

Depending upon shipping charges Best Fittings might save a few bucks over this one
Hope this helps

DO NOT use a standard Black iron pipe "Street L" from the Hardware Store they are not safe a PCP pressures... even Schedule 80.
Hydraulic fittings like the Swedgelock yes...

thanks for the link. just what i needed

Thanks for the safety advice, @Hoosier Daddy
Allow me to add this:
A search online (Amazon & a Google Search) yielded 2 different stainless steel 90-degree foster fittings.
However. when reading the details, it turns out they are only rated at 2700 psi working load.
This too would be a safety issue
My understanding is that 5000 psi is what we air gummers need

The 90* fittings are NOT NPT (National Pipe Threads). I am not sure of the correct metric thread nomenclature but NPT threads are much coarser and will NOT work.

I built one of these a couple of years ago using the best fittings elbow for when I'm shooting my
DAQ airguns it makes life much easier.

Foster fittings are available with 1/8"npt threads, 1/8" BSP threads and a couple others. I buy them in 1/8" npt.

The 316L stainless fittings from Parker have a 400bar rating. Reasonably sure the Swagelok fittings will be similarly rated. The plated steel fittings found in the hydraulics store usually carry a 5000psi rating. The plated steel versions are cheap as chips, usually <$5

Parker Street Elbow NPT... 5000PSI

I purchase 1/8" NPT hydraulic fittings when I need something compatible with Fosters, most are rated 5000-6000 psi.... The pic of the Best Fittings female "Foster" above appears to be a brass one.... I would NOT use that on 4500 psi, even 3000 psi is questionable.... I only use brass "Fosters" on CO2....

Parker fittings are gold toned (anodized?) but they are Stainless steel rated at 5000 psi

PERFECT!
Thank you, Scott
Headed for their online catalog now

The one shown is plated steel, not stainless. Own one? Stick a magnet on it.

That is probably true.
I should not have used the term "stainless" but I have neve seen one rust. Probably because we use them for hydraulics at work.
The link I provided is from Airtanksplus.com ... I trust Joe B. with anything HPA.

200 series stainless is magnetic

No expert on the matter but I have seen a lot of SS stick to a magnet, even if only weakly.

There is a guy selling preassembled angled foster adapters with extended female connectors in the classifieds on AGN.
Not sure if I am allowed to post a link.

Lol...a "lot"..okay, depends what you have around you...never said there were no stainless steels that were magnetic. Have worked with quite a bit of 17-4...which is.
200 series stainless...specifically 200 series because that is the one which was mentioned as "being" magnetic...is not magnetic. Neither is 300 series....and what are stainless fittings made from? 316/316L.
Is it remotely possible that somewhere, some company makes fittings from one of the magnetic varieties of stainless? Sure...but it would be a "three legged chicken"...ie not the norm ...and would likely be for a special purpose. In 34yrs of oilfield/petrochemical instrumentation, I've never seen a stainless fitting that was not stamped either 316 or 316L.
For airgun use, we have two basic, readily available options...plated steel hydraulic fittings and 316/316L stainless. There are some exceptions where cga fittings are involved...which are frequently brass, but rated for the intended pressures.

I have posted links to AGN here on GTA without causing a ruckus.
I think it ok to do so

I see now that I misunderstood your posts, I thought you were saying there were no magnetic stainless grades. Thanks for setting me straight.
