Pneumatic Fittings for Sale

Top Shelf Pneumatic Fittings for Every Application

Pneumatic fittings (also called compressed air connectors) are vital across various industries, powering everything from simple tools to complex machinery. At Blackhawk Supply, we understand the critical role these components play, which is why we offer an extensive selection of pneumatic fittings to ensure your systems operate efficiently and reliably.

Choosing the Right Pneumatic Fitting

Selecting the correct fitting is crucial for the optimal performance and reliability of your pneumatic system. Consider the following factors:

Pneumatic Fitting Material

Choose the material based on the environmental conditions and fluid compatibility, here are some options we have in stock:

• Aluminum: Lightweight and cost-effective, suitable for general applications.

• Brass: Good corrosion resistance, common for air and water lines.

• Steel: Strength and durability for higher pressure or demanding environments.

• Nylon & Plastic: Lightweight, often used in low-pressure or less demanding applications.

• Stainless Steel: Maximum corrosion resistance and strength, ideal for harsh chemicals or extreme environments.

• Zinc Cast Body: Cost-effective, but more susceptible to corrosion than other options.

Pneumatic Fittings by Shape

The shape of a pneumatic fitting plays a vital role in how it functions within your system. Here's an overview of the most common shapes and their typical applications:

• Straight/Connector: The most basic fitting, used to join two pieces of tubing in a straight line.

• 90 Degree Elbow: Creates a 90-degree bend in your tubing, essential for routing airlines around obstacles or changing flow direction.

• Tee: Features three ports, allowing you to split or combine airflow within your system.

• Cross: Provides four ports for airflow connections, offering more complex routing options compared to a tee fitting.

• Manifold: A block with multiple inlets and outlets, ideal for centralizing and distributing airflow within a system. Simplifies setups with multiple pneumatic components.

• Reducer: Facilitates the transition between different tubing sizes, ensuring proper flow throughout your system.

Pneumatic Fittings by Application

Consider the specific requirements of your application, including pressure ratings, flow rates, and whether the environment requires corrosion-resistant materials.

In general industrial automation settings, brass, aluminum, or nylon/plastic fittings often suffice due to the typical pressures and environments involved. Consider push-to-connect fittings for their ease of installation or maintenance within industrial automation applications.

The food and beverage processing industry requires stainless steel fittings for hygiene and corrosion resistance. Standard shapes are typically used, but it's important to ensure compatibility with any specialized connections that might be required for processing equipment. Fittings designed for easy cleaning and disassembly are crucial to meet the strict sanitation standards of this industry.

Medical and laboratory settings call for stainless steel or specialized plastics for their hygienic and non-reactive properties. Connections are often simple, but some specialized fittings might be needed for medical equipment connections. Leak tightness is paramount in this context, so look for fittings with certifications for medical or laboratory use to ensure safety and accuracy.
