Quick Summary

Pneufit D Acetal push-in fitting provides secure, leak-free connections for compressed air in food, beverage, medical, and analytical equipment. Many engineers struggle with regulator compliance, material compatibility, and leak risk during fast-fit installations. This model uses FDA-approved acetal and is NSF 51 and 61 certified, with EC 1935/2004 MOCA compliance for food contact. As part of the Pneufit D family, it delivers robust compatibility, quick assembly, and reliable performance for manufacturing teams. Engineers benefit from standardized 7/16-24 UNF threads and a straight adaptor design that supports a broad tubing range and easy maintenance. This fitment minimizes downtime, reduces total cost of ownership, and aligns with food-grade safety practices across process lines. Its compatibility with the Pneufit D range streamlines procurement and stocking for OEMs and contract manufacturers.

FAQs

Install by selecting 5/16" tubing compatible with nylon, polyurethane, or polyethylene materials. Use the straight 7/16-24 UNF threaded adaptor to mate with standard fittings, then secure the tubing with the releasable stainless-steel grab-ring. Perform a leak test after assembly to ensure a tight seal and verify that the EPDM seals are properly seated for long-term reliability.
Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 98 °C (-4 to 208 °F). Operating pressure spans -0.9 to 20 bar (-14.5 to 290 psi). These ranges support both pneumatic and light liquid applications, enabling a single component in many systems.
Yes. The body is made from FDA-approved acetal, and the part is NSF 51 and 61 certified, with MOCA and EC 1935/2004 food-contact compliance, making it appropriate for food and beverage processing and related medical/analytical equipment.
Absolutely. It is designed as part of the Pneufit D family, ensuring compatibility with other D-series components for standardized fittings, reduced SKUs, and streamlined maintenance across modular automation lines.
The fitting supports nylon, polyurethane, and polyethylene (LLDPE) tubing, specifically 5/16" sizes listed in the tubing options. The releasable grab-ring aids secure retention across these materials, while EPDM seals maintain reliable performance across typical industrial media.
