Stop settling for makeshift fittings when your draft or liquid transfer system demands precision and reliability. This straight stem to hose barb provides rigid connection geometry while maintaining a low profile for tight assemblies, and it supports standardized tubing sizes to simplify inventory and installation across large operations.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment and remove all fittings. Mix mild detergent with warm water (use gallons or liters as needed). Scrub stem and barb with a soft brush, paying special attention to crevices to remove biofilm and grease. Rinse thoroughly with potable water. Sanitize per CSA or local guidelines, following contact time on the sanitizer label. Air-dry completely before reassembly. Clean regularly to prevent contamination, fires, higher utility use, and equipment failure.#@@#Additional Info#@#Micro Matic PI251008S John Guest straight stem to hose barb connects 5/16" O.D. stem to 1/4" O.D. barb, made for beverage dispensing; CSA materials ensure corrosion resistance and reliable flow, simplifying maintenance and installation.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop settling for makeshift fittings when your draft or liquid transfer system demands precision and reliability. This straight stem to hose barb provides rigid connection geometry while maintaining a low profile for tight assemblies, and it supports standardized tubing sizes to simplify inventory and installation across large operations.
#@@# Straight Stem#@#
This component features a 5/16 inches O.D. straight stem that aligns tubing without introducing bends or pressure points. Installers gain consistent flow characteristics and reduced incidence of kinks when routing lines over short runs.
#@@# Hose Barb#@#
The unit incorporates a 1/4 inches O.D. barb that secures hose engagement through mechanical interference, lowering the risk of slippage under normal operating pressures. Technicians can rely on predictable seal performance with common soft tubing materials.
#@@# Material Compatibility#@#
Fabricators specify compatible polymers and elastomers for use with this fitting to preserve seal integrity and chemical resistance during contact with carbonated or chilled liquids. Service teams avoid premature replacement cycles by selecting tubing that resists stress cracking and deformation.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Designers benefit from a compact length that minimizes occupied space inside cabinets, manifolds, and dispensing racks. Engineers reduce clutter and maintain access for maintenance without sacrificing flow capacity.
#@@# Installation Efficiency#@#
Field crews achieve rapid installs thanks to the stem and barb geometry that allows push-fit seating followed by hose clamp reinforcement where applications demand. Operations managers shorten downtime during line changeovers and routine maintenance with fewer specialized tools.
#@@# Quality Assurance#@#
Manufacturing adheres to recognized fitting practices and accepts industry-standard inspection protocols to ensure dimensional consistency and fit tolerance.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#

• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Micro Matic PI251008S John Guest straight stem to hose barb requires routine inspection and preventive maintenance. Inspect barb and stem monthly for wear, corrosion, and secure fit; replace seals showing deformation. Flush lines with approved cleaner after heavy use and purge with potable water to prevent buildup. Lubricate O-rings with food-grade silicone to maintain seal integrity. Torque fittings to manufacturer specs and document maintenance intervals for regulatory compliance.
