Pneumatic Fittings

Pneumatic fittings are components used to connect and disconnect pneumatic hoses, pipes, and other pneumatic components. They are widely used in pneumatic systems, such as those found in manufacturing plants and industrial machinery, to control the flow of compressed air and other gases.

Pneumatic fittings come in various types, sizes, and materials to suit different applications. Some common types of pneumatic fittings include:

Push-to-connect fittings: These fittings allow for easy and quick connections without the need for tools. They have a release ring that is pushed down to release the tubing and a collet that grips the tubing when pushed into the fitting.

Compression fittings: These fittings require the use of a compression nut and ferrule to secure the tubing to the fitting. They are commonly used in high-pressure applications.

Barbed fittings: These fittings have a barbed end that is inserted into the tubing and held in place with a clamp or crimp. They are commonly used with flexible tubing.

Threaded fittings: These fittings have male or female threads that allow them to be screwed into other components, such as valves or regulators.

Pneumatic fittings can be made from various materials, such as brass, stainless steel, and plastic, depending on the application requirements. When selecting a pneumatic fitting, it is important to consider factors such as the operating pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility.
