Festo NPQE-D-R12-Q12-P5 Push-in Fitting

Model Identifier NPQE-D-R12-Q12-P5
Official Part Number 8112932
GTIN Standard 4052568462802

Technical Overview

Straight pneumatic push-in fitting with R1/2 male thread and 12 mm push-in port. Operates from -0.95 to 8 bar within a -5 to 60°C temperature range.

Key Features

  • Straight design with push-pull connection principle for quick and intuitive assembly [2.1.6]
  • Pre-applied PTFE thread coating replaces conventional sealing rings for immediate, leak-proof mounting
  • Nickel-plated brass housing provides robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance
  • Cleanroom suitability Class 4 according to ISO 14644-1 makes it ideal for sensitive cleanroom installations
  • Flexible installation via external hexagon (SW21) and internal hexagon (SW8) in tight spaces
  • High-reliability NBR tubing seal prevents micro-leakage in vacuum and positive pressure applications
  • Blue POM release ring allows easy, tool-free disassembly of 12 mm pneumatic tubing

Optimized push-pull coupling rated for pressure ranges of -0.95 bar to 8 bar with pre-applied self-sealing PTFE thread coating.

Industrial Applications

1. Main Air Supply Distribution for Valve Manifolds

Used as the primary input port connector for medium-to-large pneumatic manifold blocks, allowing a direct connection from a main 12 mm supply line into the R1/2 threaded manifold base.

Problem Solved

Eliminates assembly delays caused by manually applying thread tape. The pre-coated PTFE thread ensures immediate, high-torque sealing with no loose particles entering the manifold ports.

2. High-Flow Vacuum Gripper Lines in Carton Packaging

Employed to connect vacuum generators to suction cups in packaging lines. Its capability to operate at -0.95 bar pressure allows high-flow vacuum lines of 12 mm to sustain heavy item handling.

Problem Solved

Prevents sudden pressure drop failures in automated packaging lines. The stainless steel tubing clamp securely locks the 12 mm hose against tension under high speed robotic translations.

3. Battery and Electronics Cleanroom Production Machinery

Installed as a routing fitting inside electronics assembly environments requiring Class 4 cleanroom conditions and strict paint-wetting impairment substance (PWIS) control.

Problem Solved

Solves paint/coating defects and micro-contamination by strictly adhering to VDMA24364 zone III standards, keeping pneumatic lines free of hazardous outgassing or particle shedding.
