We use those too when we can. the tight corner was even smaller than an elbow joint, not an ideal area but it was the best place to put a lock for our climber. I think the cylinder was 5/16" so the elbow joint would be the same size as the cylinder. The thing was comical, the air flow of the 1/4" hose was totally not needed for this application.
