This solid-metal, nickel-plated brass L-fitting handles extreme -0.95 to 20 bar pressures and 0-150°C temperatures. Engineered for food-safe pneumatic systems.
The Festo 578288 (NPQH-L-G38-Q10-P10) is a high-performance 90-degree push-in L-fitting designed for quick and reliable pneumatic connections in demanding industrial environments. It features a G3/8 male threaded connection on one end and a 10mm push-in connector on the other. Constructed with a chemically nickel-plated brass housing, high-grade FPM seals, and a high-alloy stainless steel retaining claw, this robust fitting provides excellent resistance against chemical washdowns and corrosion (CRC Class 3). Rated for an extreme operating pressure range of -0.95 bar (vacuum) to 20 bar and a wide temperature span from 0°C to 150°C, it easily withstands severe-duty automation tasks. The fitting is food-safe and fully compliant with FDA and NSF/ANSI 169 standards, making it highly versatile for conveying both compressed air and liquid water.

Utilizing its food-grade NSF/ANSI 169 compliance, the fitting safely distributes compressed air or water to pneumatic actuators in primary food packaging lines where washdowns are routine.
Eliminates the risk of contamination while providing a corrosion-resistant connection capable of handling high-pressure washdowns and high-temperature cleaning cycles.
The chemically nickel-plated brass housing and FPM seals withstand ambient heat up to 150°C, making it ideal for routing air near automated robotic welding stations where spatter easily degrades standard plastic fittings.
Prevents pneumatic line melting and pressure failures caused by extreme ambient heat and flying sparks near automated metal-welding operations.
Employed in factory pneumatic networks equipped with pressure boosters (e.g., DPA series), the 90-degree fitting routes dense 20-bar compressed air in tight control panels using its robust 10mm push-in connector.
Manages extreme localized pneumatic pressures up to 20 bar within spatially constrained machinery panels without leaking or requiring bulky, multi-piece threaded adaptors.
