LPC Series Male Straight Push-in Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our LPC Series:

Convenient Internal Hex Installation:

The internal hexagonal shape allows for tightening with an Allen key from the inside, making it the ideal choice for assembly in tight or hard-to-reach locations.

Instant Push-to-Connect Design:

Simply push the nylon or polyurethane tube into the fitting for an immediate, secure, and leak-proof seal.

Wide Range of Sizes:

We offer a complete selection of sizes, connecting metric tubing from 4mm to 16mm OD to parallel BSPP (G) threads from 1/8" to 1/2".

Durable Nickel-Plated Brass Body:

The threaded body is constructed from nickel-plated brass, providing excellent durability and resistance to corrosion in industrial environments.

Secure Tube Gripping:

The internal stainless steel lock claws provide a firm grip on the tubing, ensuring a reliable connection that resists accidental disconnection from vibration or pressure.

Application Fields

The Fundamental Connector for Any Pneumatic System:

Connecting to Solenoid Valves: The most common use is to connect tubing to the inlet, outlet, and exhaust ports of solenoid valves.

Cylinder Port Connections: Used to supply air to the ports of pneumatic cylinders and actuators.

Manifold Blocks: Ideal for plumbing multiple air lines from a distribution manifold.

Robotics & Automation: Perfect for compact robotic arms and automated machinery where space is at a premium.

General Pneumatic Circuits: A universal fitting for any point where a tube needs to connect to a female thread.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Choose an Internal Hex Fitting?

While a standard external hex fitting is suitable for most applications, you should choose the LPC internal hex model in these situations:

Confined Spaces: When fittings are mounted close together on a manifold or valve block, there may not be enough room for a wrench to grip the outside. The internal hex allows for easy tightening from the top.

Aesthetic & Clean Look: For panel-mounted applications or visible plumbing, the flush profile of an internal hex fitting can provide a cleaner, more professional appearance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "PC 08-02G" mean?

A: This is a standard industry code. "PC" indicates a Male Straight Connector. "08" means it is for 8mm OD tubing. "02" means the thread is 1/4". "G" specifies that the thread type is BSPP (G).

Q: What is a BSPP (G) thread?

A: BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel), also known as "G" thread, is a straight thread that requires a gasket or O-ring at its base to create a seal. Our LPC fittings come with a pre-installed O-ring for a leak-proof connection.

Q: Can I use this fitting in a vacuum?

A: Yes, these one-touch fittings are designed to create an effective seal for both positive pressure applications and vacuum down to -100 kPa.
