  Rated for operation up to 60°C allowing elevated-temperature use
  Withstands working pressures up to 10 bar for stable supply
  Manufactured to JIS thread standards for straightforward mating
  Designed with a 23mm mounting hole for secure panel fixation

Applications

• Suitable for automated Air distribution manifolds in factories
  Ideal for control panels requiring secure panel mounting
  Used with pneumatic actuators in mechanical assemblies
  Can be used for signal Air lines in electronics production
  Used for replacement fittings in electrical equipment enclosures

What materials protect the fitting from chemical exposure?

The external surface has an electroless nickel finish which offers enhanced resistance to general corrosion and surface wear compared with untreated metal.

How does the connection type affect installation speed?

The push-in pneumatic connector design permits tool-free tubing insertion and quick disconnection, reducing assembly time on production lines.

What operating temperature limits should be observed?

The component is specified for use between -5°C and 60°C, so it should not be exposed to environments colder or hotter than these limits.

Which standard ensures thread compatibility with mating parts?

The threaded Interface conforms to JIS thread specifications, ensuring compatibility with parts MADE to the same Japanese Industrial Standard.

Is the fitting compliant with environmental material restrictions?

The device meets RoHS requirements restricting certain hazardous substances in its construction.

Notes

Models with a -X2 suffix in the Mfr Part No. are copper-free (electroless nickel plated).
