Is the 90° Adjustable Brass Elbow Fitting, Male Thread, Type R15 suitable for vacuum applications down to -20°C?

Yes. The 90° Adjustable Brass Elbow Fitting, Male Thread, Type R15 is suitable for vacuum applications down to -20°C. The product description states compatibility with air and vacuum applications and specifies an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C. Its nickel‑plated brass construction and NBR sealing support reliable performance and leak resistance at those temperatures.

Can the 90° Adjustable Brass Elbow Fitting, Male Thread, Type R15 be used with gases other than air and what sealing materials are compatible?

90° Adjustable Brass Elbow Fitting, Male Thread, Type R15 is specified for air and vacuum applications; its construction (nickel‑plated brass body and NBR sealing) and ratings (up to 16 bar, -20°C to +80°C) make it suitable for many non‑corrosive, non‑reactive gases similar to air (e.g., nitrogen, dry inert gases) provided operating pressure and temperature limits are respected. Avoid using it with strongly oxidizing, corrosive or toxic gases (e.g., chlorine, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide) or gases that may react with brass or NBR. Also be cautious with very dry oxygen or high‑pressure oxygen service—materials and cleaning for oxygen service require specific certification. Compatible sealing materials: the fitting is supplied with NBR (nitrile) seals, which are compatible with air, nitrogen and many hydrocarbons; NBR is not recommended for strong oxidizers, ketones, ester solvents, or very low temperature applications below −20°C. If your gas or operating conditions require different compatibility (chemical resistance, higher temperature, oxygen service), consider fittings with alternative seals such as FKM/Viton (better chemical and temperature resistance), EPDM (good with steam, hot water, many polar gases), or PTFE (excellent chemical resistance). Always confirm material compatibility and regulatory/safety requirements for the specific gas and operating conditions before use.
