Compression Elbow (Industry Standard) | Residential gas lines, low-pressure systems | Copper (ASTM B280), Compression Fitting (BS 2844), 200 PSI | Tool-free installation, compact, reusable | Limited pressure capacity (▲ to Cam Lock), prone to leaks if not tightened |
Hose Barb Elbow (Industry Standard) | Flexible connections (vehicles, equipment) | Brass (ASTM B368), Hose Barb (ISO 8031), 250 PSI | Adaptable for flexible hoses, cost-effective, lightweight | Risk of leaks under high pressure, less durable than threaded connections |
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Manufacturing Plant Technician
"Purchased the TOBO Pro Model in February 2025 for our foundry’s propane distribution system. After 7 months of continuous use in high-heat, high-pressure conditions, it’s performed flawlessly. The auto-lock cam mechanism is a game-changer—no leaks, no loosening, even with thermal cycling. The 180°C rating is legit; we regularly run above 160°C. Worth every penny for industrial-grade reliability."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Park - Homeowner & Outdoor Cooking Enthusiast
"I replaced my old corroded grill connector with the TOBO Base Model in October 2024. It was a breeze to install—no special tools, just hand-tightened with pliers. The brass finish looks great and hasn’t tarnished, even after winter exposure. The 90-degree bend fits perfectly behind my grill, saving space and eliminating hose kinking. Zero gas smell since installation. Peace of mind matters when you’re cooking with propane!"Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Reynolds - HVAC Technician
"I’ve used the TOBO Advanced Model on several commercial kitchen gas hookups since May 2024. The quick-release cam lock saves at least 15 minutes per job compared to threaded-only fittings. Pressure holds strong at 345 PSI, and the enhanced corrosion plating is noticeable—no pitting even in humid basement environments. Only downside: the thicker plating makes alignment a bit fiddly on tight spaces. But overall, a solid upgrade from standard brass elbows."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Process Engineer
"We installed the TOBO Pro Model in our chlorine gas line in January 2025. After six months of exposure to aggressive chemicals and constant pressure cycling, the fittings show zero signs of degradation. The military-grade plating and auto-lock seal have prevented any micro-leaks—a critical safety win. We’ve since standardized TOBO Pro fittings across all corrosive gas lines. Certification compliance made internal audits much smoother."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Wong - Auto Shop Owner
"We run high-pressure acetylene and oxygen lines in our shop, and the TOBO Advanced Model has held up better than any fitting we’ve used. Bought them in November 2024, and after 4 months of daily use, no leaks, no wear. The 400 PSI rating gives us headroom for peak demand. The cam lock system means apprentices can connect hoses safely without over-tightening. Tool-free disassembly is a bonus during maintenance. Highly recommend for any shop needing reliable gas connections."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months

Mike Tran - Certified Industrial Plumber (25 years experience)
"For high-pressure gas systems, I always recommend brass cam lock fittings over steel or plastic. The TOBO series stands out—especially the Pro model. Its triple corrosion resistance and auto-lock mechanism meet or exceed safety standards for flammable and corrosive gases. I’ve specified it in three new plant builds this year."
Karen Liu - Licensed Gas Inspector
"I’ve seen too many DIY propane failures. The TOBO Base Model is one of the few aftermarket connectors I actually recommend to homeowners. It’s CSA-compliant, easy to install correctly, and the brass construction resists outdoor degradation. Just make sure to check for tightness annually."
