    I didn't check the links, but yes, that should work. Basically a push-lock x male adapter, and then a push-lock swivel 90. Sounds like that is what you need!

    Everyone already commented.. But Go to a Ace or True value they have more specialized fittings..

    It will work because that's exactly what what is in the picture.... 2 parts. There's no swivel guest fitting.

    If you can't find a piece locally, let me know.

    When I say Guest, I mean all quick-connects (that I know of). There only use to be John Guest, so now I can't help but refer to all as such.... like kleenex.

    I have a little quick-connect fetish. I have a drawer full.

    That's because they are pretty awesome fittings for us reefers!

    I stopped by Menards on the way home, this is the closest I could get to mimicking the configuration I am looking for. This would require a short run of 1/2" tubing from the threaded fitting to the elbow.

    I will be able to look at more hardware stores this weekend perhaps. I'm not happy with this, but it would work if nothing else comes up.

    My home depot carries an elbow with threads. That's what you're looking for, right? Try HD again.

    Most elbows with threads do not swivel. So that could cause it to point the direction I do not want... Although I think I'm splitting hair here.

    But I live about a mile from a Menards, HD & Lowes that same almost the same land plot. Then I can drive 15 minutes to get to an Ace. That's my plan once I get some free time.

    thanks!
