This stem elbow is designed to connect two John Guest push-fit fittings, creating a 90° swivel-type connection within compressed air and pneumatic systems. It is particularly useful where pipework direction needs to change while maintaining flexibility and ease of installation.

The push-fit connections allow for rapid assembly without tools, heat or sealing compounds. A precision-engineered collet locking system ensures each connection is held securely without deforming the pipe or restricting flow, while the integrated nitrile O-ring provides a dependable, airtight seal.

Fully demountable for ease of maintenance, the fitting allows systems to be modified or extended with minimal downtime. Manufactured from tough engineered plastic, it is compatible with John Guest nylon and powder-coated aluminium air pipe, as well as a wide range of plastic and soft metal pipe materials.
