Pneumatic fittings

Frequently asked questions — Pneumatic Fittings

• What are the essential criteria for selecting my pneumatic fittings and accessories?

  The selection of pneumatic fitting components relies on the technical assessment of several parameters. It is imperative to define the required working pressure, the nominal diameter of the air passage needed and the compatibility of the chosen materials with the constraints of your application environment. In addition, the leak-tightness of connections, the type of mounting envisaged and the nature of the fluids conveyed are decisive elements for guaranteeing the durability and proper operation of your compressed air network installation.
• Which standard must be observed for mounting valves on a pneumatic network?

  When integrating valves within your pneumatic system, it is recommended to use components that comply with standard ISO 5599. The application of this standard enables effective standardisation of mounting interfaces between the various elements. This approach ensures technical consistency during assembly and facilitates interfacing with other pneumatic components, thereby guaranteeing a compliant and reliable structuring of your compressed air network.
• Must pneumatic fittings meet specific safety requirements?

  Yes, all pneumatic fitting components, including connection systems and the tubing required for structuring networks, must comply with the requirements of standard ISO 4414. This standard, which governs safety rules in pneumatics, applies to all integrated accessories to ensure safe operation. Compliance with this standardisation is fundamental for interfacing with other pneumatic components and valves within your technical installations.
