Push-in fittings
The Festo NPQM metal push-in fittings are the robust variant of the NPQ family, built for higher mechanical loads and aggressive environments. Thread connections G1/8, G1/4 and G3/8, plus bulkhead fittings (NPQM-H) and T- and Y-branch connectors (NPQM-T, NPQM-Y) cover the full range of connection geometry. Tube outside diameters 8, 10 and 12 mm are the primary sizes.
The range also includes multi-outlet manifolds (NPQM-LFK) with G1/8, G1/4 and G3/8 ports for up to four parallel tube outlets. Metal construction reduces creep under sustained load and improves pressure stability compared to plastic versions.
| Type | Form | Thread | Tube OD |
|---|---|---|---|
| NPQM-L-G12-Q12 | L (90°) | G1/2 | 12 mm |
| NPQM-LH-G14-Q6, -Q8 | L elbow, tall body | G1/4 | 6, 8 mm |
| NPQM-LH-G38-Q8 to -Q12 | L elbow, tall body | G3/8 | 8, 10, 12 mm |
| NPQM-T-G38-Q8 to -Q12 | T-piece | G3/8 | 8, 10, 12 mm |
| NPQM-Y-Q12-E | Y-connector | Threadless (E) | 12 mm |
| NPQM-LFK-G18-Q4 to -Q8 | Multi-outlet manifold | G1/8 | 4, 6, 8 mm |
| NPQM-H-Q10-E, -Q12-E | Bulkhead push-in | Threadless (E) | 10, 12 mm |
Typical applications: Installations with high mechanical stress or vibration, pneumatic supply lines in heavy-duty lifting equipment, cable duct bulkhead installations (NPQM-H), and manifold setups with multiple parallel outlets in production machinery.
