1/2" Push-Fit to 3/8" Hose Stem Fitting – Cask Ale Tube to Hose Adaptor

1/2" Push-Fit to 3/8" Hose Stem Fitting – Cask Ale Tube to Hose Adaptor

The 1/2" Push-Fit to 3/8" Hose Stem Fitting is designed to connect 1/2" OD rigid or semi-rigid tubing to compatible 3/8" flexible hose within draught beer, cask ale and beverage dispense systems.

Featuring a 1/2" push-fit connection on one side and a 3/8" hose stem on the other, this adaptor provides a simple transition between push-fit pipework and flexible beverage hose.

It is particularly useful for real ale and cask beer dispense installations, as well as other professional drinks dispense applications where different pipe types need to be connected.

1/2" Tube to 3/8" Hose Stem Adaptor

The push-fit connection accepts compatible 1/2" OD pipe, while the hose stem is designed to fit inside compatible 3/8" ID flexible hose.

This provides a compact connection between rigid push-fit pipework and flexible beer or beverage hose without requiring a threaded adaptor.

Useful for Cask Ale & Beer Engine Systems

Flexible hose is commonly used within traditional cask ale and hand-pull beer engine installations.

This adaptor provides a convenient way of transitioning between compatible push-fit pipework and flexible hose where required within the dispense system.

Push-Fit Connection

The 1/2" push-fit connection accepts compatible 1/2" OD tubing.

Pipe should be cut cleanly and square before being pushed fully into the fitting. To disconnect, press the collet towards the fitting while withdrawing the pipe.

3/8" Hose Stem

The opposite side incorporates a 3/8" hose stem for connection to appropriately sized flexible hose.

The hose should fit correctly over the stem and be secured using a suitable retaining method where required for the hose material and application.

Understanding the Sizes

The two connection sizes refer to different pipe measurements:

• 1/2" push fit – accepts pipe with a 1/2" outside diameter (OD)
• 3/8" hose stem – designed for compatible flexible hose with a 3/8" internal diameter (ID)

Always check both pipe dimensions before ordering.

Important

This fitting connects 1/2" OD push-fit pipe to compatible 3/8" ID flexible hose. It is not a 1/2" to 3/8" push-fit reducing connector.

Check that the pipe, hose and fitting are suitable for the product, pressure and operating conditions of your dispense system.
