SECTION 5

Pneumatic conduits should be replaced when permanently deformed, cut or frayed.
FIGURE 5.11
Installation of pneumatic conduit
(1) push-in fitting, (2) pneumatic conduit
Push-in fittings are used for connecting conduits with pneumatic system components. The
fittings enable simple, fast and tight connection by pushing the conduits in. If leaks appear at
connections, the user may tighten the fitting by himself using a tightening torque according to
table (5.2). If air continues to escape replace fittings with new ones.
