1/4" JG x1/4"FIP Elbow Ball Valve

The John Guest 1/4" JG x 1/4" FIP Elbow Ball Valve from Reliance Worldwide Corporation combines a 90-degree turn, a push-fit tube connection, and a positive shut-off in one compact fitting. It is a practical choice for controlling flow to reverse osmosis units, filters, and other point-of-use water treatment equipment, packing three functions into a single body to save space and reduce junctions.

One end accepts 1/4" tubing via the John Guest push-in collet, while the other end is a 1/4" female iron pipe thread for connecting to a threaded port. The integrated ball valve lets you shut off the line with a quarter-turn of the handle, and the elbow body routes the connection around a corner. A built-in shut-off like this is invaluable for servicing, letting you isolate a filter or RO membrane without shutting down the whole system.

Features

• Connection: FIPT x Tube, both 1/4"
• Integrated ball valve for quarter-turn shut-off
• 90-degree elbow body for compact routing
• Corrosion-resistant polypropylene construction
• Push-in tube side seats instantly, no tools required
• Combines flow control, direction change, and shut-off in one

To install, wrap the FIP end with PTFE tape and thread it onto the mating port, then cut your 1/4" tube square and free of burrs and push it fully into the collet until it seats. A gentle tug confirms the grip, and the O-ring seals the joint automatically. Operate the valve by turning the handle a quarter-turn, inline with the body for open and crosswise for closed. The corrosion-resistant polypropylene construction holds up to continuous contact with treated water without scaling or rusting, and the push-fit tube side is demountable for servicing. For convenient flow control and clean line routing in residential water treatment plumbing, this John Guest elbow ball valve is a versatile, space-saving component.

Within the John Guest range, this elbow ball valve works alongside the unions, tees, and connectors that share the same collet system, so adding isolation and a direction change to an existing layout is quick and tool-free. Positioning a shut-off right at a filter or membrane inlet is a best practice that turns routine cartridge changes from a whole-system shutdown into a simple, contained task.
