Fitting Function
Joins a pneumatic tube to a female threaded port in a straight-through configuration. Match 5/32" tubing and the specified 1/8 NPT mating port.
Important: This P-Series fitting is intended for industrial pneumatic and vacuum applications and is not approved for potable water service. Cut tubing squarely and push it fully into the fitting. To remove the tube, depress the grip collar; the Click-Click sound and feel indicate collar disengagement during tube release.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tubing size fits PC5/32-N1?+
The tube connection is sized for 5/32" outside-diameter tubing. Match the actual tubing OD, not its nominal internal diameter.
What does this stud fitting connect?+
This model connects 5/32" tubing to a corresponding female threaded pneumatic component in a compact straight layout.
Does the stud body swivel during service?+
This is a straight stud connection. Choose a swivel elbow when the tube requires angled orientation at a threaded port.
What thread does this fitting use and which port does it fit?+
The fitting uses a 1/8 NPT male pipe thread. Select the matching NPT female port and an appropriate thread seal; do not treat it as a BSPP parallel thread.
Can it be used in an industrial vacuum circuit?+
The P-Series fitting family is described for industrial compressed-air and vacuum service. Confirm that the tubing, O-rings and pressure or vacuum conditions are appropriate for the complete system.
How do I release or reconnect the pneumatic tube?+
Isolate pressure or vacuum first. Depress the release collar fully and pull the tube straight out. The Click-Click feel and sound are associated with depressing the collar during tube release, not with inserting the tube. Cut the tube end square before reconnecting.
What is the fitting body made from?+
The fitting body is nickel-plated brass, with the sealing and gripping components stated in the technical specification table.
Is it suitable for drinking water or potable-water installations?+
No potable-water approval is stated for this P-Series fitting. Use a product with documentation explicitly covering the required drinking-water standards rather than assuming pneumatic fittings are certified.
