The Pneufit C line delivers tool-free, ready-to-use assembly that speeds up installation and reduces labor costs in automated panels and plant floors. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and faster project ramp-up, especially in high-mix environments where reconfiguration occurs often. The releasable stainless-steel grab-ring securely grips nylon or polyurethane tubes (85 or 95 durometer), enabling quick removal and replacement during maintenance without tools, which lowers downtime for tube changes and system retries. Nickel-plated brass bodies provide corrosion and contamination resistance, extending component life in challenging environments and improving overall reliability for long-term performance. Silicone-free U-packing enables immediate, zero-downtime sealing, supporting contamination control and regulatory compliance while simplifying spare-part inventories for field teams. The PBT body, combined with NBR seals, offers robust chemical compatibility and consistent sealing across the -20 to 60 °C operating range, ensuring dependable operation in diverse industrial settings. The double-branch manifold shape supports compact, multi-port configurations, facilitating streamlined routing and reduced panel footprint. These characteristics collectively reduce lifecycle costs, improve system availability, and support scalable automation architectures in manufacturing environments.

FAQs
To install, simply push the 12 mm O/D nylon or polyurethane tube into the Pneufit C adaptor until it seats with a click. The releasable grab-ring grip holds the tube securely and allows quick removal without tools during maintenance or reconfiguration. Ensure the tube is cut square and free of burrs to maximize sealing integrity.
Yes, the Pneufit C is designed for R3/8 threaded interfaces and 12 mm O/D tubing. It is rated for operating temperatures from -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments while maintaining reliable seal and flow characteristics.
The double-branch manifold is ideal for compact pneumatic island installations, panel-mounted distribution, and short-run branched air lines. It reduces the number of fittings required, minimizes leak points, and streamlines routing in confined automation spaces, improving installation speed and system reliability.
For safety-critical installations, verify applicable CE regulatory expectations and any IP-rated requirements based on your environment. Pneufit C fittings are designed to align with common industry standards, and where SIL-rated components are used in the safety loop, teams should confirm integration with the overall safety architecture and maintenance plan.
The tool-free assembly and releasable grab-ring reduce installation and maintenance time, while silicone-free U-packing supports fast sealing and easier contamination control. These features collectively lower downtime, extend service life, reduce spare-parts inventory, and deliver a favorable total cost of ownership in automated pneumatic systems.
