Pneumatic Automation Fittings
Weld Spatter Resistant Fittings
Parker's PLP Metal pneumatic fittings are UL94 V-0 rated for flame resistance. These fittings are available in inch and metric sizes. For threaded connections, we offer NPT, BSPP, BSPT, & Metric.
We Have The Connections For You
Food and beverage packaging customers and OEMs depend on fluid system connectors like fittings and tube products to keep pneumatic air flow control and fluid transfer systems running at peak efficiency. Watch "Tips on Fittings and Tubing for Food & Beverage Packaging OEM" to see how Parker FSC fittings can be an ideal solution for your application.
Selecting The Right Flow Control
A pneumatic flow control provides precise speed control of air flow entering or leaving a pneumatic actuator. Flow controls combine a needle valve and a check valve. The needle valve meters the flow in one direction, while the check valve allows free flow in the opposite direction, but prevents return flow. Watch the video to find out how to select the appropriate flow control for your application.

Give Your Fluid Connectors the Attention They Deserve in Pneumatic Builds
Connectors might not always receive the attention they deserve. Often times the specification of fittings and tubing is secondary to the attention paid to larger components. Design engineers may not anticipate system leaks. Even if pneumatic fittings and tubing are the last components to be specified in typical food and beverage packaging equipment, they still merit close consideration. Improperly specified connectors contribute to early component deterioration causing leaky connections and even pressure drop. Properly specified fittings and tubing will help to ensure that food and beverage packaging systems perform at levels end-users expect.
7 Factors To Consider When Selecting a Pneumatic Flow Control
Pneumatic flow controls are an essential component in a pneumatic system. These devices provide precise speed control of airflow either entering or leaving a pneumatic actuator. Pneumatic flow controls are used in a variety of markets and applications. They are mostly found on factory automation lines, robotic welding cells and food/beverage packing lines. A pneumatic flow control combines a needle valve with a check valve. The needle valve portion allows for the metering of airflow in one direction, while the check valve allows for free flow of air in the opposite direction while preventing backflow.
Selecting the right pneumatic flow control for your application can be challenging, but this guide is designed to help make the process easier.
