Equal Elbow Connector - 5/16" Pushfit X 5/16" Pushfit - John Guest - PM0308S

While specific pressure ratings vary by application, these connectors are generally suitable for low to medium pressure applications typically found in domestic water, pneumatic, and food/beverage systems. Consult John Guest for detailed specifications if operating near maximum limits.

No, this specific model (PM0308S) is designed exclusively for 5/16" outside diameter tubing on both pushfit connections.

To disconnect, push the tube firmly into the connector body while simultaneously pulling the tube outwards. Some models may have a specific release button or collar; ensure it is depressed before pulling the tube.

The acetal copolymer material has a working temperature range. It is generally suitable for ambient to moderately warm fluids. For very high temperatures, consult John Guest's product specifications or alternative material options.

Yes, the John Guest PM range, including this elbow connector, is suitable for use with compressed air systems, provided the pressure and temperature are within the operational limits of the connector.

'Equal' means both pushfit connections are the same size (5/16" in this case), and 'Elbow' indicates it creates a 90-degree change in direction for the tubing.

Ensure the 5/16" tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. Check for any dirt or debris on the tubing end or inside the connector port. Try re-seating the tubing firmly.

Confirm you are using 5/16" outer diameter tubing. Ensure the tubing end is not deformed or kinked. Slightly warming the tubing end in warm water may help, but avoid excessive heat.

Inspect the internal gripping collet for damage or wear. Ensure the tubing is pushed in fully until it locks. If the collet appears damaged, the connector may need replacement.
