Barbed fittings

Fittings

Festo barbed fittings allow tool-free connection of tubing with ribbed or corrugated ends to threaded ports. The ACK series quick fittings (port sizes G 1/8 to G 1/2, tube OD 3-13 mm) snap in by simply inserting the tube and release by pressing a release sleeve. Hose nozzles of the C series (C-1/4-P-6 etc.) mechanically secure tube ends on push-nipples. In addition to brass, plastic variants (-KU) are available, suitable for oil-free and grease-free systems.

⚙ ACK quick fitting - tool-free installation, tube OD 3-13 mm, G 1/8 to G 1/2

⚡ CK quick fitting - alternative design to ACK, compatible tube sizes

✓ Hose nozzles C - retention element for tube ends on push nipples, sizes PK-6 to PK-13

⬡ Plastic variants -KU - corrosion-resistant, lighter than brass, for dry and low-oil systems
