John Guest 3/8" U-Bend – 180° Push-Fit Connector

John Guest 3/8" U-Bend – 180° Push-Fit Connector

The John Guest 3/8" U-Bend is a push-fit fitting designed to connect two lengths of 3/8" OD pipe with a compact 180-degree change of direction. Commonly used in professional drinks dispense, compressed air and pneumatic systems, it provides a neat way to route pipework back in the opposite direction without creating a tight bend in the tubing.

Both connections are 3/8" push-fit, allowing compatible pipe to be installed quickly without conventional hose tails, clips or additional sealing compounds.

3/8" Push-Fit U-Bend Connector

The John Guest 3/8" U-Bend fitting is particularly useful where two parallel pipe runs need to be connected or where pipework needs to return in the opposite direction within a restricted space.

Using a purpose-made U-bend avoids forcing flexible pipe into a tight radius, which could otherwise kink or restrict the line.
