15mm U Bend (JG)

The John Guest 15mm Grey Acetal U-Bend is a push-fit fitting designed to create a smooth 180° return in 15mm tubing within beverage, water and fluid systems. Manufactured from durable grey acetal, this connector allows tubing to loop back on itself without kinking, helping maintain reliable flow through the line.

Using John Guest’s trusted push-fit technology, tubing can be connected quickly without tools or clamps. Simply push the tube into the fitting to create a secure and leak-resistant connection. This makes installation straightforward and allows systems to be adjusted or expanded easily when required.

U-bend fittings are commonly used in drinks dispense systems, water filtration installations, beverage equipment and plumbing applications, particularly where tubing needs to be redirected neatly in confined spaces.

What Is a U-Bend Fitting Used For?

A U-bend fitting allows tubing to change direction in a controlled 180° loop without creating sharp bends that could restrict flow. It helps maintain a tidy installation and prevents tubing from kinking when space is limited.

In beverage or water systems, these fittings are often used to route tubing around equipment or within cabinets and installations where straight runs are not possible.

Installation Tip

For best results, cut the tubing squarely before inserting it into the push-fit fitting. Push the tube fully into the connector until it reaches the internal stop to ensure a secure seal.
