What are pneumatic fittings used for

Pneumatic fittings are components that allow the connection, through the use of tubes and threaded parts, between valves and actuators within a pneumatic circuit. Pneumatic couplings can use different hose coupling and un-coupling systems. On the market, there are:

• Push-in fittings or Super-rapid fittings 
• Compression fittings or Quick Couplings 
• Compression or compression fittings

The material of which they are made also varies, one can find: 

• Nickel-plated brass fittings 
• Stainless steel 316L fittings 
• Technopolymer fittings

They are essential tools for minimising the discharge of compressed air into the environment. In recent years, new technologies have been developed to meet new market requirements. One example are those with plastic connections. These are able to guarantee the same noise performance, but with a much lower specific weight and unit cost. However, they are also used for other purposes, such as 

• the construction of automatic machines 
• the fixing of pneumatic equipment 
• noise reduction in pneumatic systems
• silencing heavy applications, such as in the metal or glass industry
• silencing air exhausts of pneumatic valves and cylinders.
