Connect 90 degree elbow tailpiece to 5/16" barb (gas)
How to join 5/8" G nut x 5/16" barb and 5/16" hose barb, and what stops it leaking.
These connect directly. 90 degree elbow tailpiece mates with 5/16" barb (gas) without an adapter.
The two ends
- End A
- 90 degree elbow tailpiece (5/8" G nut x 5/16" barb)
- End B
- 5/16" barb (gas) (5/16" hose barb)
- A seals on
- flat washer against the shank or coupler face; barb under a worm clamp
- B seals on
- barb ridges plus a worm clamp on the hose
- Part needed
- none, direct fit
A 90 degree elbow tailpiece with a 5/16 barb takes gas or beer line and turns it through a right angle under a worm clamp. It is the compact alternative to a straight tailpiece where a wall or keg is close behind.
The elbow seals on a washer at its 5/8 G nut and on a clamp at the barb. Point the barb where the line needs to run before you tighten the nut, because once the washer is compressed you do not want to keep spinning it.
