Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting
Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting provide a compact, dependable solution for pneumatic flow control. The push-to-connect design supports quick installation and straightforward maintenance in industrial pneumatic systems.
Adjustable Speed Control
Regulates exhaust or inlet airflow to control pneumatic actuator speed.
Push-to-Connect Ports
Allows fast tubing installation without separate compression hardware.
Compact Adjustment
Designed for installation directly at cylinders, valves or within machine circuits.
Stable Pneumatic Control
Supports controlled motion and repeatable machine operation.
Product Overview
Flow Controls With Push to Connect Fitting (push to connect fitting)Flow controls are an essential component in pneumatic systems and are used on an actuator or air cylinder. The flow control allows the restriction and speed control of compressed air for double acting and single acting cylinders. This type of flow controls are typically used on the exhaust port of the pneumatic actuator offering a smooth and progressive stroke.
Flow controls are not the same as a needle valve. A compressed air flow control offers a uni-directional flow restriction and full unrestricted flow in the other.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting?
A Flow Controls Push To Connect Fitting combines a push-to-connect tubing connection with an adjustable restriction used to control airflow and pneumatic actuator speed.
What tubing can be used with these products?
Use pneumatic tubing with the correct outside diameter and suitable material, such as compatible polyurethane or nylon tubing. The tube end should be cut square and free from damage.
How is the tubing installed?
Cut the tubing square, push it fully into the release collar until it reaches the internal stop, and gently pull back to confirm that it is retained.
How is the tubing removed?
Remove system pressure first. Press the release collar evenly toward the fitting body while pulling the tubing straight out.
What is meter-out flow control?
Meter-out control restricts air exhausting from the actuator. It is commonly used because it generally provides smoother and more stable cylinder speed control.
How do I choose the correct size?
Match the tube outside diameter and, where applicable, the thread type and port size. Also confirm pressure, temperature, media and available installation space.
How should a flow control be adjusted?
Start with the adjustment mostly closed, operate the actuator at a safe reduced speed, and gradually open the control until the required motion is achieved. Secure the setting when applicable.
Can Pneuforce help with product selection?
Yes. Pneuforce can assist with tube size, thread type, configuration, pressure range and application compatibility.
