Distributor
Pneumatic connection technology
Festo manifolds distribute a single compressed air supply to multiple outlets, eliminating the need for separate pipe branches. The range includes manifold blocks FR (4-way and 8-way, thread sizes M5 to 1/2" BSP), rotary distributors GF (G1/4 and G3/8) and multi-outlet push-in manifolds QSLV2 (tube diameters 4-12 mm, thread sizes G1/8 to G1/2).
FR manifold blocks are aluminium-bodied and designed for DIN rail or direct machine mounting. QSLV2 multi-outlet manifolds combine the push-in principle with a central thread port, allowing multiple tube outlets to be attached without individual fittings.
| Series | No. of outlets | Thread | Connection type |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR-4-M5 to FR-4-1/2-B | 4-way | M5, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" | Threaded ports |
| FR-8-1/8, FR-8-1/4, FR-8-1/2 | 8-way | 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" | Threaded ports |
| FR-12-M5, FR-12-PK-4-B | 12-way | M5 | M5 / PK push-in |
| QSLV2-1/8-4 to QSLV2-G1/2-12 | 2 outlets per block | G1/8 to G1/2 | Push-in 4-12 mm |
| GF-1/4, GF-3/8 | 1 outlet (rotatable) | G1/4, G3/8 | Rotary distributor |
Typical applications: Compressed air supply to multiple consumers from a single feed in assembly machines, branching in pneumatic gripper systems, supply rails on control cabinet back panels, compact manifolds for valve islands with M3/M5 ports, and rotary distributors where the installed fitting must rotate.
