Festo Pneumatic Push-In Tee Tube-to-Tube Adapter, , 16 mm, 14 Bar, POM/Polypropylene/Nickel Plated, FDA/ISO, -10°C to QST-16

Festo's QST-16 Pneumatic Fitting is a professional-grade tee tube-to-tube adapter engineered for push-in connection of 16 mm tubes in industrial automation and pneumatic circuits. Designed to deliver fast, reliable tube installation in demanding environments, it features robust construction leveraging nickel plated brass, reinforced polybutylene terephthalate, POM, polypropylene, and high alloy stainless steel. The fitting stands up to pressures up to 14 bar and temperatures from -10°C to 80°C, enabling use across a wide range of fluid power applications, including food processing systems where hygiene and compatibility are crucial.

This fitting is compliant with FDA requirements and ISO standards, offering assured compatibility for food-contact environments. Construction materials confer excellent chemical resistance, while advanced nitrile rubber (NBR) seals ensure tight, leak-proof performance throughout operating pressure and thermal ranges. The tee adapter facilitates pneumatic distribution, enabling secure junctions and flow control in automated equipment, electronics assembly, and mechanical workshop setups.

Rapid push-in tube installation minimizes labor and maximizes reliability, while corrosion-resistant nickel plated surfaces enhance service life. The QST series is built to rigorous standards, including ISO 8573-1:2010, ISO 7/1, EN 10226-1, and DIN 73378, guaranteeing compatibility with common pneumatic ports and threads. Whether installed in food handling, actuator supply lines, or control valves, this fitting maintains performance in chemically aggressive, temperature-variable, and food-safe operation zones.

Connects tubes efficiently with push-in mechanism for expedient maintenance and setup. Tee form allows branching in pneumatic distribution manifolds and control circuits. Supports high-pressure applications with robust 14 bar rating and secure NBR seals.

Nickel plated brass, reinforced polymers, and stainless steel construction offer corrosion and chemical resistance. Meets global standards such as FDA, ISO, EN, and DIN for international compatibility. Versatile for industrial fluid power, laboratories, food processing, commercial automation, and workshop pneumatic distribution.

The Festo QST-16 is ideal for engineers and technicians seeking reliable, food-grade, industrial pneumatic fittings. Explore more Festo pneumatic solutions and accessories in the Pneumatic Fitting category for advanced automation projects on EnvMart.
