3/8" U Bend (JG)

The John Guest 3/8" Grey Acetal U-Bend is a push-fit fitting designed to create a smooth 180° return in 3/8" imperial tubing within drinks dispense and water systems. Manufactured from durable grey acetal, this connector allows tubing to loop back on itself without kinking, helping maintain consistent flow through the system.

Using John Guest’s trusted push-fit technology, tubing simply pushes into the fitting to create a secure and leak-resistant connection without the need for tools or clamps. This makes installation quick and allows systems to be adjusted or expanded easily when required.

U-bend fittings are commonly used in beer dispense systems, beverage equipment, water filtration installations and cooling systems, where tubing needs to be redirected neatly within tight spaces.

What Is a U-Bend Fitting Used For?

A U-bend fitting allows tubing to change direction in a smooth 180° loop without causing sharp bends or kinks. This helps maintain proper flow within the system and keeps tubing runs tidy when space is limited.

In drinks dispense systems, U-bend connectors can be used when routing beverage or water lines around equipment or within compact installations.

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.
