Abstract
An electrical fitting has a rigid tubular body in the form of an elbow with one connector insert rotatably received at one end of the body and a second connector insert fixed within the body in the other end. Insulated flexible wires within the body connect corresponding elements of the connector inserts. The fitting is particularly useful in establishing a quick disconnect for machines or instruments from a flexible feed cord while avoiding a 'gooseneck' in the feed cord.
