Pneumatic Push-to-Connect Elbow Fitting for 3/8 Inch Tube and 1/4 Inch NPTF Connection

Description

When you’re setting up air lines on your tractor implements or running pneumatic systems for seed meters and controls, tight spaces and awkward angles can make connections a real challenge. This John Guest fixed elbow fitting solves that problem by giving you a clean 90-degree turn from a 3/8-inch tube connection to a 1/4-inch NPTF threaded fitting—perfect for those cramped spots behind air tanks, around cylinders, and in equipment compartments where every inch counts.

What You’re Getting

• Push-to-connect design on the 3/8-inch side means no tools needed—just push your tube in and you’re connected
• 1/4-inch NPTF threads create a secure, leak-free connection to standard air fittings and gauges
• 90-degree angle saves space and eliminates stress on tubing from sharp bends
• White polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and temperature extremes
• Direct replacement fitting—no modifications or adapters needed for most agricultural pneumatic systems

Built for Real Farm Work

This fitting is designed for the pneumatic systems found on modern planting equipment, air seeders, and tractor implements where precise air pressure controls seed placement and operates remote cylinders. Whether you’re plumbing an air cart, connecting gauge lines, or routing control air to hydraulic valves, this elbow handles the pressures and conditions that farm pneumatics demand.

Made to Last

Farm pneumatic systems face constant vibration, temperature swings, and exposure to dust and chemicals. The John Guest polypropylene construction won’t corrode like brass fittings can, and it handles the pressure cycles from air compressors without cracking. The push-to-connect design uses an internal grab ring that gets tighter under pressure, creating a more secure connection the harder the system works.

Installation Notes

For the push-to-connect side, make sure your tubing end is cut square and free of nicks—a clean cut makes all the difference for a leak-free seal. Use pipe thread compound or PTFE tape on the NPT threads for best results. To disconnect the tube later, just push in the release collar and pull the tube straight out.
