The problem it solves: Joins two pneumatic tubes of the same size in a straight line and can also be used to reconnect tubing after cutting out a damaged section.
Festo series to look for: Festo QS push-in connector, standard series. Festo lists straight equal QS connectors for tube outside diameters from 4 to 16 mm.
Connectors for the Festo range come in QS-4, QS-6, QS-8, QS-10, QS-12 and QS-16 types having the same diameters on their tubing.
Usage: Control panels, automated pneumatic systems, cylinders, valves, air conditioning systems and air compression lines.
Lower-cost alternative: Janatics or AirTAC equal unions.
Summary: VS Enterprises supplies Festo equal union fittings from Noida.

A few practical details to help you frame your next engineering project.
Cut out the damaged section and make sure both remaining tube ends are cut square. Insert both ends fully into the union for a secure connection.
Yes, standard QS equal unions have the same tube size at both ends. Check the part number for the required tube O.D.
Check the tube outside diameter, pneumatic application and required operating conditions before selecting the exact QS part number.
