Festo C-1/4-P-6, Barb Fitting, G 1/4 Female

The Festo C-1/4-P-6 hose barb fitting connects flexible pneumatic tubing to a female-threaded port. It comes with a G 1/4 female thread on one side and a hose barb sized for 6 mm hose on the other. This type of fitting is commonly used in compressed air systems where a tight, reliable hose connection is required without complex installation. It is a straightforward component designed for everyday pneumatic setups rather than specialised or high-pressure applications.

What Benefits Does It Offer to Users?

The hose barb side grips the hose firmly once installed, helping prevent air leaks during regular operation. The threaded end allows direct mounting into valves, cylinders, manifolds, or air preparation units.

• G 1/4 female thread.

Basic Pneumatic Fitting for Secure Hose Connections
