Name: Festo CRQS-12-10 Stainless Push-In Connector 12mm to 10mm - INOSAKI
SKU: Festo-130654
Price: 72.39 USD
Availability: InStock

Technical Overview

The Festo 130654 (CRQS-12-10) is a high-performance, straight push-in reducing connector designed for demanding industrial pneumatic applications. Manufactured entirely from high-alloy stainless steel and equipped with an FPM tubing seal, it ensures maximum chemical and corrosion resistance (CRC 4). This fitting employs a robust push-pull principle to provide secure, tool-free connections between 12 mm and 10 mm outer diameter pneumatic tubing. It confidently operates across a broad pressure range from deep vacuum (-0.95 bar) up to 10 bar, and handles extreme ambient temperatures from -15°C to 120°C. Fully compliant with food industry standards and suitable for compressed air or water media, it is an optimal choice for cleanrooms, harsh washdown environments, and automated packaging lines.

Industrial Applications

1. Food & Beverage Washdown Packaging Lines

In highly sanitized packaging lines requiring frequent washdowns with caustic cleaning agents, standard brass or polymer fittings corrode rapidly. This stainless steel fitting maintains seal integrity and resists severe chemical wear.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of contamination and frequent maintenance downtime by utilizing extreme corrosion-resistant (CRC 4) materials compatible with aggressive food-grade cleaning environments.

2. High-Temperature Industrial Pneumatic Systems

Manufacturing facilities utilizing pneumatics near furnaces, boilers, or high-friction machinery experience elevated temperatures that destroy standard polyurethane seals. The integrated FPM seal guarantees thermal endurance up to 120°C.

Problem Solved

Prevents critical pressure drops and pneumatic leaks caused by thermal degradation of seals during continuous high-heat manufacturing processes.
