The problem it solves: Provides a quick push-in connection between pneumatic tubing and components with an external male thread.
Festo series to look for: Festo QSF push-in fittings, part of the QS standard fitting range. The QSF design uses a female G thread with an external hex.
Festo's current QS documentation lists QSF female-thread fittings in combinations covering 4–16 mm tubing O.D. and G1/8–G1/2 female threads, with availability depending on the specific combination.
Uses: Pneumatic control panels, valves, cylinders, FRL components, automation systems, and compressed air lines.
Lower-cost alternative: Mercury or Janatics female connectors.
