Pneumatic fittings are predominantly made from three different types of material; plastic, stainless steel and polymer. Stainless steel and polymer fittings are used in the food and beverage industry to comply with hygiene regulations, but all three types can be used in any other application. How do pneumatic fittings work? This is also an L-shaped connector (QSLV), but the middle part is freely rotatable. Some variants allow alignment during installation, while others allow continuous rotation during operation. Festo's connectors, for example, feature integrated ball bearings and allow rotation at speeds of up to 500 RPM. T-forms

Here, at RS we offer an extensive range of high-quality pneumatic fittings from industry-leading brands such as Festo, SMC, Legris, Norgren and of course RS PRO. You can find more information in our pneumatic fittings guide Pneumatic Fitting Types Available in plastic and MDPE, our range includes high-quality inserts from JC Speedfit and Qual-PEX and comes in sizes from 10 mm to 28mm. This type of fitting has screw threads on the inner (female) or outer (male) surfaces. They are designed to connect or mate to other threaded pneumatic fittings. Threaded fittings can’t be directly connected to the tubing. Push-InIf you are working with any kind of pressurised gas system then you’ll certainly need pneumatic fittings. They are mechanical components used to link together sections of tubing, pipe, or hose, allowing air or gas to flow through your system from one part to another. These fittings typically have tighter seals and lower pressure requirements compared to hydraulic fittings. As we mentioned before pneumatic fittings come in various shapes and sizes, and they can also be connected in different ways too. The most common types of connections are Threaded Tee and Y fittings connect three or four flow divisions into T or Y-shaped intersections. They allow the air or gas to merge or split apart. These fittings come in various connection options including Threaded-to-Push-In, Threaded-to-Threaded or Push-In-to-Push-In. Pneumatic Fitting Connection Types

Pneumatic fittings are used to connect lengths of tubing, pipes and hoses in pressurised pneumatic systems. They typically have tighter seals and lower pressure requirements compared to hydraulic fittings and can be commonly found in robotics within production lines as well as products we use within our daily lives such as vacuums and tyre pressure gauges. Types of pneumatic fittings? Available in various finishes, our selection includes bend tap, imperial to metric, nozzle hose, slip, straight, tank, underground, reducing straight and straight tap connectors. L-shape as a 360° rotatable connector. These connectors are only available with a right angle. But after they are screwed on (with internal thread or external thread), the outlet angle can be freely adjusted by manually rotating the plug-in connector. A spanner is required for installation. Therefore, installation in tight spaces may be difficult under certain conditions. Swivel coupling Elbow fittings change the direction of flow to various angles. The most common are 90° and 45°. These fittings come in various connectivity options such as Threaded-to-Push-In, Threaded-to-Threaded or Push-In-to-Push-In. Tee & Y Pneumatic Fittings Our push-fit fittings range includes couplers, connectors, adaptors, valves, reducers, inserts and more from top brands such as JC Speedfit, Polypipe, Pegler Tectite, IBP Connex, Hep2O and Qual-PEX.

Available in multiple finishes, including brass, copper, DZR brass, MDPE and Plastic, our elbows range suits all systems. In this case, it is important to use hoses with a certain outer diameter for leak-free connection in the push fit fittings. We offer a vast selection of connectors, fittings and hoses. Working with top brands such as Norgren, Legris and Festo as well as offering our own range of RS Pro brand parts, you'll find hundreds of push-in, tube-to-tube and threaded-to-tube fittings plus a large number of couplings and adaptors to fit almost every application. What are pneumatic fittings used for?

Fixings

Available in varying lengths and styles from 15mm to 28mm, our push-fit couplers range includes PE-copper, brass, copper, plastic and DZR brass couplers. One of the most essential fittings to have at hand, we have made sure our selection of tee fittings includes everything from equal tees to reducing tees, with clear specifications listed on every item. Threaded adaptors and fittings - designed with a tapered or parallel thread on all connections, these are available as either a bulkhead adaptor, threaded bolts, elbows, cross and manifolds fittings.
