Technical Overview

The Festo QSL-G1/8-4 (Part Number: 186116) is a high-performance push-in L-fitting designed for reliable and rapid pneumatic connections. This standard-sized, 360° orientable fitting features a male G1/8 thread and a 4 mm push-in connector, operating on a push-pull principle for tool-free installation. Constructed with a durable PBT housing, POM release ring, and a robust NBR sealing ring, it provides excellent chemical and thermal resilience. The fitting accommodates a broad operating pressure range of -0.95 to 14 bar and functions flawlessly in ambient temperatures from -10°C to 80°C. Engineered to handle compressed air, vacuum, and water mediums, it ensures leak-proof integrity and low corrosion stress (CRC Class 1), making it an optimal component for versatile industrial automation and fluid control systems.
