SPW Series Stainless Steel Pneumatic Manifold Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our SPW Series:

Compact Multi-Port Distribution:

This air distribution manifold provides a single, streamlined component for splitting one input into multiple outputs, perfect for powering several actuators from a single valve.

One-Piece, Leak-Resistant Design:

The solid, one-piece construction is inherently more robust and leak-resistant than assembling a manifold from individual tee fittings.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction:

Available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures, making them ideal for washdown environments.

Comprehensive Size Options:

We stock a full range of sizes to fit any system.

Tube OD (Metric): 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm

Tube OD (Inch): 5/32", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"

Food-Grade & Oil-Free Design:

Manufactured to be oil-free and compliant with the Food Hygiene Law, our food grade manifold fittings are safe for use in sanitary applications.

Application Fields

The Compact Solution for Air Distribution:

Powering Multiple Cylinders: Distributing air from a single directional valve to a bank of small cylinders.

Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling: Providing multiple vacuum or pressure lines to a robotic gripper from a single supply tube.

Food & Beverage Machinery: A hygienic stainless steel manifold for distributing air on processing and packaging equipment.

Laboratory & Instrumentation: Creating multiple, identical gas streams for analytical equipment.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Use an Integrated Manifold Fitting?

While you can build a manifold using multiple union tees, an integrated manifold fitting like the SPW offers significant advantages:

Space Savings: It is far more compact than a series of interconnected tees.

Reduced Leak Points: Every connection is a potential leak. The SPW reduces the number of connections needed.

Faster Assembly: Installing one component is much faster than assembling three or four.

Cleaner Appearance: It provides a much more professional and organized look for your pneumatic plumbing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: How many ports does this fitting have in total?

A: The standard SPW manifold fitting shown has 5 ports in total: one inlet, one straight-through outlet, and three parallel branch outlets. All ports are for the same tube size.

Q: Are all the ports the same size?

A: Yes, on the SPW series, all push-in ports are designed for the same tube diameter.

Q: Can this fitting be used in a washdown environment?

A: Yes, the 316 stainless steel construction is designed to withstand the water and cleaning chemicals used in industrial washdown procedures, making it a perfect choice for the food and beverage industry.
