Technical Overview

The Festo CRQSL-1/2-12 (Part Number: 162878) is a premium pneumatic push-in L-fitting designed for demanding industrial environments. Manufactured entirely from high-alloy stainless steel with an FPM seal, it delivers a particularly high corrosion resistance (CRC 4) ideal for food, beverage, and chemical applications. The L-shaped fitting is 360° orientable and features a male R1/2 thread transitioning to a 12 mm O.D. tube push-pull connection. Capable of handling operating pressures from -0.95 to 10 bar and extreme temperatures ranging from -15°C to 120°C, it reliably accommodates compressed air and liquid water. Compliant with VDMA24364-B1/B2-L LABS standards, it is safe for paint-sensitive and stringent hygienic operations.

Key Features

  • 360° orientable L-shape design for flexible installation [1.11]
  • External R1/2 male thread with 22 mm hex mounting
  • Push-pull principle for 12 mm outside diameter tubing
  • High-alloy stainless steel housing, release ring, and thrust ring
  • FPM tubing seal withstands temperatures from -15°C to 120°C
  • Operates under vacuum (-0.95 bar) up to 10 bar pressure
  • LABS (PWIS) compliant (VDMA24364-B1/B2-L) for paint-sensitive uses
