About Press-in sleeves

A push-in cartridge is pressed into a prepared bore in a plastic part and turns it into a push-in port, with no thread to cut and no fitting to install. That saves space on housings, manifolds and valve carriers. Tube outside diameters from 4 to 12 mm are accepted at a working pressure up to 10 bar.

What matters when choosing

• For tube O.D.: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm. The port grips the outside diameter of the tube, wall thickness does not matter here.
• Working pressure: -0.95 to 10 bar, with 15 bar stated for short periods. The vacuum figure covers suction applications as well.
• Mounting bore: according to the product text the cartridges can only be pressed into plastic. Metal housings call for a screwed fitting instead.
• Material and seal: plastic or zinc with an NBR seal, compressed air is the medium given. The range is not rated for liquids.
• Series: use is recommended only together with quick connectors of the Blue series, so that tube, release ring and collet match.

Typical applications

• Push-in ports directly in the plastic housing of manifolds and valve carriers
• Compact assemblies with no room for a screwed fitting
• Series parts where the port is pressed in during assembly
• Vacuum applications down to -0.95 bar
• Adding an extra outlet to an existing plastic part

The 5 items are made of plastic or zinc and sealed with NBR, supplied from China. The manufacturer recommends combining them only with quick connectors of the Blue series.
