Applications

• Used with compressed Air distribution manifolds in factories
  Suitable for Compact pneumatic tool connections on assembly lines
  Ideal for retrofit of existing tube-to-tube networks requiring quick connects
  Can be used for laboratory pneumatic test rigs with controlled pressure
  Used for plant maintenance where RoHS-compliant components are required

What is the pressure capability for continuous operation?

It is rated for continuous service up to 1MPa.

Which material dictates chemical and temperature limits?

The fitting body is MADE from polybutylene terephthalate, which determines temperature tolerance and chemical compatibility.

How does the surface finish affect longevity in industrial environments?

The electroless nickel-plated surface provides a uniform metallic coating that reduces abrasion and surface degradation.

Which standards does it meet for dimensional and thread compatibility?

It meets JIS B0205 and JIS B0203 specifications for dimensional conformity.

What is the lowest ambient temperature at which it remains operational?

It maintains operational functionality down to -5°C.
