The right installation materials
for every application –
system solutions from Festo
“Everything from a single source!”
This is something you often see and
hear. But when it comes to Festo’s
tubing/threaded fitting range, it’s
really true. This range has been con-
sistently enhanced in recent years in
terms of both tubing and fittings,
with considerable effort going into
ensuring application-specific tubing/
threaded fitting combinations that
are optimally harmonised. The right
solution for every task.
Festo’s “Pocket Guide to Pneumatic
Installation” will help you to navi-
gate the wide range of fittings and
connectors; non-return, pressure
control and flow control valves and
tubing to ensure you end up with the
installation solution that is right for
you.

1 Tubing/threaded fitting combinations
Well combined: Tubing-threaded
connector for all individual
situations
While many of our competitors focus
on tubing or on the threaded fittings,
the Festo range is characterised by
our trademark system solution
approach. It has been consistently
enhanced in recent years in terms of
both tubing and fittings, with con-
siderable effort going into ensuring
application-specific tubing/threaded
fitting combinations that are
optimally harmonised.
The perfect choice of tube and
threaded fitting combination
depends mainly on the exact place of
installation. Each individual case is
characterised by a series of different
requirements for tubing/threaded
fitting combinations. However cases
can often be pinned down using a
single feature for rapid orientation.
A glance at the overview of our most
popular tubing/threaded fitting com-
binations will help you to make the
right choice quickly and reliably.

Tubing – the flexible transmission
component
Tubing is indispensable in connect-
ing pneumatic valves, cylinders and
decentralised compressed air
preparation systems because of its
flexibility and low space require-
ment. Festo offers a full tubing
range, optimised for special
requirements.

Pipes
Ideally suited for supplying com-
pressed air within machines and
also for small compressed air
networks within buildings: com-
pressed air piping PQ. Available in
both aluminium and polyamide
designs, the PQ range is the perfect
complement for the push-fit system
CQ. And regardless of whether
plastic or aluminium – both designs
ensure optimum flow conditions
thanks to their smooth inside walls.

Quick Star: The synonym for
unlimited tubing connectors
Quick Star is not just a fitting, but
the name for a whole range of prod-
ucts. In fact the name says it all: it is
the perfect synthesis of continuous
and meaningful enhancement. Our
designers are constantly working to
develop the range for new applica-
tions. The latest examples of this are
the enhancements to the all-metal
fittings QS-F and the stainless steel
fittings CRQS as well as the introduc-
tion of the new price-optimised
fitting series QS-B.
The Quick Star range of fittings is
divided into five different series:
� QSM/QS:
Standard series with a wide range
of variants for standard
applications
� QSM-B/QS-B:
Standard series with core func-
tions for simple applications
� QS-V0:
Welding spatter resistant series
for applications involving flying
sparks
� QS-F:
Highly versatile all-metal series
� CRQS:
Extremely sturdy stainless steel
series

Faultless operation in applications
involving welding spatter
No chance for welding spatter: the
push-in fitting QS-V0 specially devel-
oped for the welding spatter-resis-
tant double-sheathed tubing PAN-V0
is designed to also hold the external
tubing. This rules out the possibility
of a gap forming between the tubing
and fitting where welding spatter
could gain entry.
The materials used for the push-in
fitting QS-V0 comply with the most
stringent requirements category V0
according to UL 94 and therefore
guarantee optimum protection in
areas where there is a risk of fire.
� For environments with flying
sparks
� For increased requirements for
fire protection, for example in
automobile production
� Flame-retardant to UL 94 V0

High load capacity
If the mechanical loading of tubing
and fittings is the order of the day,
the quick connector CX designed
specially for the metal braided hose
PX is the perfect retainer to accom-
modate the metal braiding. It rules
out the possibility of a gap forming
between the tubing and connector –
and thus eliminates any potential
problems with the connection.
� For tubing O.D. from 4 to 9 mm
� Specially designed for the metal
braided hose PX

Pressure regulators – for optimum
performance
You need your system to operate at
peak performance every day.
Pressure regulators and differential
pressure regulators can help you
achieve this. They guarantee the
required pressure directly at the
system, regardless of the input
pressure, and compensate pressure
peaks on the supply side.
Pressure regulators LR-... and
LRMA-... keep the output pressure
stable
� Swivel joint 360° rotatable
� Flow rates 22 to 125 l/min
� Variants:
– With or without pressure gauge
– Screw-in or inline variants
� Connections:
– M5 to R¼
Differential pressure regulators
LRL-... and LRLL-... maintain a
manually set differential pressure
between the primary pressure at the
screw-in thread and the secondary
pressure at the QS connection.
� Swivel joint 360° rotatable
� Flow rates 50 to 500 l/min
� LRL variants:
– With non-return function
– Screw-in or inline variants
� Connections:
– M5 to R¼
� Tubing with swivel connector,
360° rotatable
� Flow rates 0 to 100 l/min
� LRLL variants:
– With or without pressure gauge
– Screw-in or inline variants
� Connections:
– M5 to R¼

11 Tips and tricks
The grade of filtration is always
determined by the application.
Examples of permissible particle
sizes in compressed air:
� 40 µm to 5 µm for vane motors,
working cylinders, controllers and
pneumatic hammers
� Less than 5 µm for regulators,
valves, measurement instru-
ments, spray guns
� Less than 1 µm for applications in
the food processing, pharma-
ceutical and electrical engineering
industries
In order to increase the service life of
an active carbon filter, it should
always be positioned after a micro
filter, which in turn should be
positioned after a preliminary filter.
Active carbon filter cartridges should
generally be replaced after 1,000
operating hours or if an oil odour is
noticed.
It is also possible to combine a
number of processes or to connect
filters in series, for example two
micro filters, whereby the second
filter contains active carbon and acts
as an adsorption filter. This filter
then retains odours from oil or other
solids. Incidentally most pneumatic
working and control components will
function normally with oil-free air
since they are lubricated for life at
the factory. However, if you are using
lubricated air then once you start
you must continue – you cannot go
back to oil-free air!

11 Tips and tricks
Here are some tips on selecting
components:
� Always size the service unit one
connection size higher than is re-
quired for the maximum flow rate.
Undersizing leads to pressure
fluctuations at the regulator and
to inadequate filter service life.
� Always mount service units at the
coolest point in the system, for
example on an exterior wall
instead of in the waste heat zone
of a working machine.
� Service units should never be
mounted more than 5 metres
away from the last consuming
device. Otherwise the oil mist may
condense before it reaches the
actual consuming device if
lubricated air is being used.
� Water separators separate any
water droplets that occur in the
network. Even the largest water
separator will need to be emptied
at some time. Therefore: make
sure that you service your water
separator regularly or, if in the
project planning phase, consider
using an automatic water
separator.
� Filter bowls should only be
cleaned using water, not solvents.
Use metal bowls for harsh
environments.
� Always choose a larger solids filter
than is necessary. Note the flow
direction when installing the filter.
Do not clean filter cartridges –
dispose of them.
� If using an adsorption dryer, place
a preliminary filter (grade of filtra-
tion 1 µm) upstream of the input
filter to extend the service life of
the input filter. Contact with oil
will considerably reduce the
service life of the drying agent.
Finally the air inlet temperature
should be less than 35 °C.
� Use a lockable regulator knob to
prevent the pressure settings for
the pressure regulator being
changed without authorisation.
� Compressed air lubricators must
only be filled with the low-
viscosity mineral oil approved by
the manufacturer.
� If operating large working
cylinders (piston diameter above
100 mm) with lubricated air, use a
filter silencer for the exhaust air.
This dampens the exhaust noise
and separates particles via a fine
filter cartridge.
� Services units need to be serviced
too – implement a maintenance
schedule to prevent them failing
prematurely and causing
problems.

11 Tips and tricks
The illustration below shows the
structure of a push-in fitting.
These fittings are equally well suited
to vacuum or compressed air. Steel
retaining claws secure the tubing
without damaging its surface. Vibra-
tion and pressure surges are safely
absorbed. The tubing can be
released by pressing in the release
ring. The claw is then lifted away
from the tubing. This push-in/clamp
function is used in many types of
fitting.

11 Tips and tricks
When using tubing, people often
make the mistake of combining dif-
ferent diameters within a string. This
has the effect of reducing the flow
pressure. Another common mistake
people make is selecting tubing
lengths that are too long. Spiral tub-
ing has a higher pressure drop than
normal straight tubing precisely be-
cause of its long length. The diagram
opposite illustrates the pressure
drop that occurs with increasing
tubing length by illustrating the
decreasing flow rate.
An output pressure of 7 bar (effec-
tive) and a pressure drop of 0.2 bar
were selected as fixed variables. The
tubing is a PVC tubing with a sleeve
and fittings at both ends.

If the Festo push-in system is used
there is no reduction of cross section
within the tubing, which has a
positive effect on the pressure drop.
