Branch module FRM
Classic
The Festo branch module FRM provides a lateral compressed air branch from the main line of a Classic maintenance unit, without interrupting the main line flow. Available in MINI, MIDI and MAXI sizes with port sizes G1/8 to G1, versions with integrated manual shut-off valve (FRM-H) are also available. FRM modules mount directly to the maintenance unit or distributor block and add a further outlet for sub-consumers with their own pressure level.
| Series | Size | Port | Shut-off valve |
|---|---|---|---|
| FRM-1/8-D-MINI | MINI | G1/8 | no |
| FRM-3/8-D-MINI | MINI | G3/8 | no |
| FRM-1/4-D-MIDI | MIDI | G1/4 | no |
| FRM-1/2-D-MIDI | MIDI | G1/2 | no |
| FRM-3/4-D-MAXI | MAXI | G3/4 | no |
| FRM-1-D-MAXI | MAXI | G1 | no |
| FRM-H-1/4-D-MINI | MINI | G1/4 | yes (ball valve) |
| FRM-H-1/2-D-MIDI | MIDI | G1/2 | yes (ball valve) |
| FRM-H-1-D-MAXI | MAXI | G1 | yes (ball valve) |
Typical applications: building compressed air distribution points on maintenance units serving multiple consumers, isolating individual branches for maintenance without shutting down the whole system (FRM-H), adding a further outlet to an existing Classic preparation station, supplying auxiliary consumers (signal generators, blow-off or rinse stations) directly at the preparation station, and building compact air distribution blocks in series with FRZ distributor blocks.
