Festo Pen Series Compressed Air Pipe, 8mm Outside Diameter, 5.7mm Inside Diameter - PEN-8X1,25-NT, Numeric Part Number: 543248


This compressed Air pipe provides a food‑safe pneumatic conduit for general and safety-focused tasks in industrial environments. It is translucent and intended for use where contamination control, static management and resistance to environmental stressors are required. Supplied as a continuous 50 m roll, it serves as a flexible Air line suited to automation, electrical and mechanical installations.

Features & Benefits


• Maximum operating pressure 10 bar enables high‑pressure systems
• Operating temperature range −30 to 60°C supports varied climates
• Polyethylene construction offers chemical and oil resistance
• Anti‑static property reduces electrostatic discharge risk
• Hydrolysis and microbe resistant for food‑grade longevity
• UV and abrasion resistance extends outdoor service life

**Applications**


• Suitable for food processing pneumatic controls requiring hygiene
• Ideal for high‑pressure Air distribution in automation systems
• Used with electronics assembly equipment needing anti‑static tubing
• Can be used for safety Air circuits in mechanical plants
• Used for outdoor compressed Air runs exposed to UV light

What internal size should I plan for when matching fittings?


The internal bore measures 5.7 mm so choose fittings and push‑in connectors compatible with that ID for airtight joints.

How does the material behave with common industrial chemicals?


The polyethylene formulation resists many oils, chemicals and solvents, reducing degradation in chemical exposure scenarios.

Is this suitable for repeated flexing and abrasion in moving equipment?


Yes, the tube resists abrasion and retains integrity under flexing typical of pneumatic actuator and pick‑and‑place movements.

How does the tube perform where flame risk exists?


It is manufactured to be flame‑retardant and spark‑resistant to lower ignition and propagation risk in hazardous zones.

Note

Not approved for use in the food industry.
