Festo NPQH-T-G38-Q10-P10 578400 Push‑in T-Fitting G3/8 to 10mm

Festo NPQH‑T‑G38‑Q10‑P10 is a T‑shaped push‑in fitting (threaded adaptor) with a male G3/8 thread on the inlet and two push‑in connectors for 10 mm outside diameter tubing. The body is made from chemically nickel‑plated brass, providing high corrosion resistance (CRC 3) and suitability for harsh environments including welding spatter applications. The fitting can be swivelled 360° after tightening, allowing flexible tube routing in confined spaces. It is certified for use in the food industry (NSF H1‑registered, FDA‑compliant) and resistant to cleaning agents. The operating temperature range extends up to 150 °C, and the maximum operating pressure is 20 bar.

Applications:

• Pneumatic branch line distribution in compact control cabinets

• High‑temperature applications (e.g. oven sealing systems) up to 150 °C

• Food industry and FDA‑compliant pneumatic systems

• Systems requiring high corrosion resistance (CRC 3), e.g. welding, chemical, marine environments
