Stem Elbow 1/2" - 1/2" (JG)

The John Guest 1/2" Grey Acetal Stem Elbow is a push-fit fitting designed to connect 1/2" imperial tubing to a female threaded connection while redirecting the tubing at a 90° angle. Manufactured from durable grey acetal, this fitting provides a reliable and secure connection for drinks dispense and water systems.

Featuring John Guest’s trusted push-fit technology, tubing simply pushes into the fitting to create a secure seal without the need for tools or clamps. The stem connection allows the fitting to be inserted into compatible threaded ports, making it ideal for connecting tubing to equipment, valves or other system components.

Stem elbow fittings are commonly used in beer dispense systems, beverage equipment, water filtration installations and home bar setups, where tubing needs to connect directly to equipment while changing direction.

What Is a Stem Elbow Fitting?

A stem elbow fitting connects tubing to equipment or threaded ports while redirecting the tubing at a 90° angle. This allows tubing to connect neatly to valves, pumps or other components where space is limited or where the tubing needs to change direction.

Push-fit stem elbows allow installations to be completed quickly without specialist tools.

Installation Tip

Ensure tubing is cut squarely before inserting it into the push-fit connector. Push the tube fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop to create a secure seal.
