John Guest Drinks Grey Acetal Reducing Bulkhead Connector

Designed for connecting unequal sized tubing through walls, panels or partitions, this fitting provides a secure method of routing pipework between spaces while also reducing tube size in the same fitting. Bulkhead fittings are commonly used in drinks dispense installations where beer lines, gas lines or water feeds need to pass through cellar walls, refrigeration panels, python trunking or equipment housings. The integrated threaded bulkhead body allows the fitting to be mounted securely through a panel while maintaining sealed push-fit connections on both sides.

The reducing configuration enables transitions between different tubing sizes without adding extra couplings. This is particularly useful when connecting equipment with smaller inlet connections or when stepping down from main supply lines to smaller branch feeds.

Each side of the connector incorporates John Guest push-fit technology, allowing fast installation without tools, hot works or sealing agents. The collet locking mechanism with stainless steel grip teeth holds tubing securely without deformation, while nitrile O-rings provide a reliable airtight seal. Manufactured from grey acetal copolymer, the fitting offers strong mechanical performance and resistance to scale build-up. It is suitable for potable liquids, food grade applications and inert gases. In accordance with the British Beer & Pub Association Code of Practice, it can be used with N2, CO2 and mixed gas systems as well as air, pneumatic and vacuum applications.
