This means it offers hiccup-free performance in a wide temperature range between -20°C and +80°C.

• R3/8 male thread matches standard pneumatic components
• Wide operating pressure range between -0.9 and 18 bar makes it a versatile option
• Weighs just 39g, so puts minimal strain on your tubes

• Railway infrastructure
• Automated industrial processes
• Research and development laboratories
• Automotive industry

This component accommodates tubes with a 6mm OD, so it's ideal for routing and connecting smaller hoses.

Connecting a hose is conveniently tool-free, thanks to the unit's push-in design. Just insert the pipe, pull back gently and the retaining collet securely anchors the line to take accidental disconnections out of the equation.
