The Remco QA elbow fitting is a 90-degree quick attach fitting that turns your hose off the pump port without kinking. It locks onto the 3/4" QA port on Remco 5500 and FatBoy pumps and clamps to a hose barb on the other end. Two barb sizes, O-ring included. Key Features 90-degree turn: Routes the hose off the port right away, so it won't kink or side-load the pump head in a tight pump bay. Tool-free quick attach: The 3/4" QA end twists and locks onto the pump port. No pipe thread, no tape, no wrench. Two barb sizes: FQ5E-34 takes 3/4" hose; FQ5E-12 takes 1/2" hose. Both use the same 3/4" QA on the pump side. Polypropylene body: Handles SH without the corrosion that cracks brass fittings in chlorinated service. O-ring sealed: Ships with an O-ring on the QA side for a clean, tool-free seal. Specifications Type 90-degree elbow, quick attach x hose barb Pump-side port 3/4" Quick Attach (both variants) Hose barb (FQ5E-34) 3/4" Hose barb (FQ5E-12) 1/2" Body material Polypropylene Seal O-ring included (QA side) Chemical compatibility Sodium hypochlorite, surfactants (body) What's Included 1 elbow fitting (choose your barb size) 1 O-ring, pre-installed on the QA side Fits the 3/4" Quick Attach ports on Remco 5500 Series and FatBoy 5518 pumps, plus Remco Aquajet and RV pumps with the same QA port. It won't fit the Remco Zeus SmoothFlo, which uses 1" FNPT threaded ports instead of Quick Attach. It also won't fit 5/8" QA pumps like the 3300 Series. A hose clamp isn't included, so you'll clamp the barb side to your hose separately. How the Remco QA Elbow Fitting Works The 3/4" QA end seats and twists onto the pump's quick attach port, sealed by the built-in O-ring. No threads to chase, no tape. The other end is a hose barb that slides into your soft wash hose and gets a clamp. The 90-degree bend turns the line off the port right away, so the hose runs clean toward your reel or tank instead of bending hard at the pump. The polypropylene body is SH-safe and won't corrode like brass. The one wear part is the O-ring. Remco doesn't publish the factory O-ring compound, so for bleach service swap in a Viton O-ring and flush the line with clean water at the end of the day. Pairs Well With REMCO HB x QA Straight Fitting Viton O-Ring Stainless Steel Hose Clamps Rampage Soft Wash Hose Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between the FQ5E-34 and FQ5E-12? The barb size. FQ5E-34 has a 3/4" hose barb; FQ5E-12 has a 1/2" hose barb. Both use the same 3/4" Quick Attach on the pump side. Pick the one that matches your hose ID. Does the Remco QA elbow fit the Zeus pump? No. The Zeus SmoothFlo uses 1" FNPT threaded ports, not Quick Attach, so this elbow won't connect. It fits the 3/4" QA ports on the 5500 and FatBoy pumps. Is the Remco QA elbow fitting bleach safe? The polypropylene body is SH-safe and won't corrode like brass. The O-ring is the wear part, and its compound isn't published, so run a Viton O-ring for bleach service and flush with clean water after each job.
