John Guest 3/8" Stem Elbow – 90° Push-Fit Connector

John Guest 3/8" Stem Elbow – 90° Push-Fit Connector

The John Guest 3/8" Stem Elbow is a compact 90-degree push-fit connector designed for professional draught beer, beverage, gas and compressed air systems.

Unlike a standard equal elbow, this fitting has a 3/8" push-fit socket on one side and a 3/8" stem on the other. The stem can be inserted directly into another compatible 3/8" push-fit fitting, providing a neat 90° connection without requiring an additional length of pipe between the fittings.

Ideal for cellar installations, beer dispensers, keg systems and other drinks dispense equipment where space is limited.

3/8" Stem Elbow Push-Fit Connector

The John Guest Stem Elbow combines a push-fit tube connection with a smooth stem at a 90° angle.

The 3/8" push-fit socket accepts compatible 3/8" OD tubing, while the 3/8" stem pushes directly into another compatible 3/8" push-fit connector.

This makes it particularly useful for connecting fittings directly together while changing the direction of the pipework.

Stem Elbow vs Equal Elbow

A stem elbow is different from a standard equal elbow.

A 3/8" equal elbow normally has two 3/8" push-fit sockets, allowing two separate lengths of 3/8" pipe to be joined at 90°.

This 3/8" stem elbow has one push-fit socket and one smooth stem. The stem is designed to push directly into another compatible push-fit fitting.

This can reduce the number of fittings and short pieces of pipe required in compact installations.

Push-Fit Installation

Insert compatible 3/8" OD pipe fully into the push-fit socket.

The 3/8" stem end can then be pushed directly into a compatible 3/8" push-fit connection on another fitting or piece of equipment.

Always ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and square before inserting it into the fitting.

Important

This is a 3/8" stem elbow, not a conventional 3/8" equal elbow.

One side accepts 3/8" OD pipe, while the other is a 3/8" stem designed to insert into a compatible push-fit socket.

Check the required connection arrangement before ordering.
