1. Overview and Catalog Structure

This technical document catalogs the "blue C-line" One-Touch Fitting Program and accessories, focusing on pneumatic and fluid control applications. It includes a detailed table of contents referencing various fitting models such as male/female straight connectors, elbows, banjo elbows, bulkheads, Y- and T-connectors, and multi-port fittings.

2. Product Categories and Specifications

The fittings are organized by thread type, configuration, and special features:

• Standard-System One-Touch Fittings: Male straight fittings with BSPT or metric threads, often PTFE coated for chemical resistance.
• Male Thread with O-Ring: Enhanced sealing fittings with integrated O-rings.
• Bulkhead Fittings: Panel or wall mount fittings with female metric threads.
• Elbows and Rotatable Elbows: Standard and long versions allowing directional tubing changes with rotatable features.
• Banjo Elbows: Rotatable fittings with male/female BSPT threads, including double and triple port variants for complex routing.
• Y and T Connectors: Male and female threaded fittings for tubing branching, some rotatable and PTFE coated.

3. Dimensional Data and Parameters

Each fitting model includes precise dimensional parameters critical for installation and compatibility:

• T: Thread size/type (e.g., R1/8, G1/4, M5).
• øD: Outer diameter of tubing connection.
• L, A, H, H1, H2, E, N, T2, A1, A2, øP: Various length, height, and width dimensions.

These measurements, provided in millimeters, enable engineers to select fittings that meet spatial and connection requirements.

4. Material and Coating

Most fittings feature PTFE coatings to enhance chemical resistance and reduce friction. O-rings improve sealing and prevent leakage under pressure.

5. Installation and Usage Recommendations

• Rotatable elbows, banjo elbows, and union T fittings allow flexible installation angles, facilitating assembly in confined or complex piping systems.
• The one-touch mechanism simplifies tubing connection and disconnection, improving maintenance efficiency.

6. Critical Information and Limitations

• Thread types vary among BSPT (tapered), BSPP (parallel, G), and metric threads; compatibility must be verified before selection.
• Dimensional accuracy is essential for leak-free connections; exact model specifications must be followed.
• PTFE coating and O-ring presence are key for chemical compatibility and sealing performance.
