Festo Polybutylene Pneumatic Fitting, Male, Push-In, Nickel-Plated Brass, R 1/2 in, 90° Elbow, QSLV-1/2-16

The Festo QSLV-1/2-16 polybutylene pneumatic fitting is a technical elbow adaptor engineered for reliable connections within pneumatic systems. This model is tailored to join R 1/2 inch male threads to 16 mm push-in tube connectors, optimizing space utilization and efficiency in industrial automation setups.

Constructed with a combination of nickel-plated brass for the threaded end and polybutylene for the tube body, the fitting guarantees superior corrosion resistance, robust mechanical durability, and lightweight handling. The 90-degree angle design is especially useful for installations in restricted spaces, where maneuverability and compact fittings are critical for system layout and maintenance.

The QSLV-1/2-16's push-in connector enables swift tube attachment and detachment, facilitating rapid system assembly and minimizing downtime during service. The swivel connection feature enhances flexibility during installation, permitting rotational adjustments without repositioning entire modules. This feature is invaluable for fine-tuning tube direction and ensures optimal air flow paths in pneumatic circuits.

The fitting performs reliably in environments with operating temperatures between -10°C and +80°C and withstands pressures up to 6 bar, ensuring performance across many industrial, mechanical, and HVAC applications. Its hollow bolt mounting structure further simplifies the installation process and contributes to overall system stability and integrity, especially in setups requiring secure, vibration-resistant connections.

Commonly deployed in industrial automation, laboratory pneumatic routing, manufacturing lines, and mechanical fluid transfer systems, the QSLV-1/2-16 supports secure tube connection for air distribution and control. The nickel-plated finish not only resists wear and corrosion but also ensures longevity under frequent use.

This fitting is not food grade and does not feature chemical resistance; it is best suited for air flow, pneumatic actuators, and tube applications where hygiene and aggressive chemical environments are not required. Its design adheres to EN 10226-1, IEC 7-1, ISO 228-1 standards and fits seamlessly within systems built to these requirements.
