Clippard Push-Quick Fitting PQ-MC05P

Clippard's Push-Quick Fitting, part number PQ-MC05P, is designed for use with 5/32" O.D. tubing and features a 1/8" NPT thread. This fitting allows for higher flow rates compared to traditional barbed fittings, as it maintains the full flow through the tubing's inner diameter without requiring a smaller orifice. The fitting is constructed from a plastic resin body with a nickel-plated brass metal stud, stainless steel gripper ring, and Buna-N seals, ensuring durability and reliability in pneumatic applications. The operating pressure range for this fitting is 0 to 150 psig at 130¬8F, with a burst pressure of 350 psig at 75¬8F. It can handle vacuum conditions up to 29.5" Hg and operates effectively within a temperature range of 32 to 140¬8F. The installation process is straightforward, requiring the tubing to be pushed into the fitting until it reaches a dead stop, followed by a gentle pull to ensure a secure grip. The fitting also features a release button for easy removal of the tubing. This product is suitable for connecting pneumatic components and can be used with various tubing materials, including polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon. The Push-Quick Fitting is an efficient choice for engineers looking for reliable and easy-to-install connections in their projects.
