LYHY Quick-Connect Pipe Fitting MGL4039

Product Overview

The quick-connect pipe fitting is a core component in pneumatic systems, specifically designed for rapidly connecting PU/PE/PA pneumatic hoses to valve bodies, cylinders, and air supply lines. It utilizes a mechanical snap-lock mechanism to enable tool-free, quick insertion and removal of hoses, ensuring convenient and efficient operation. The product features a brass body with nickel plating as the main material, equipped internally with stainless steel retaining rings and NBR nitrile rubber sealing rings. For certain special applications requiring high temperature and oil resistance, an FKM fluororubber sealing version is available. With its dual-seal structure, it effectively ensures the airtightness and stability of the air circuit. The product has a rated working pressure of 0–1.0 MPa, and all finished products undergo 100% leak-proof pressure testing. Its burst pressure is ≥4 times the working pressure, with a standard insertion/removal life of over 5,000 cycles. Operating temperatures range from –20°C to 80°C, making it suitable for most pneumatic circuit requirements. It is widely used in pneumatic systems across various fields, including automation equipment, textile machinery, packaging equipment, and construction machinery.

Core Structure and Technical Principles

The core structure of the quick-connect pipe fitting consists of three parts: a brass body with nickel plating, a stainless steel retaining ring, and an O-ring seal. When a pneumatic hose is inserted into the fitting, the stainless steel retaining ring automatically clamps the outer wall of the hose, achieving rapid locking. Simultaneously, the internal O-ring tightly seals against both the hose and the inner wall of the fitting, forming a dual-seal structure that effectively prevents air leakage. To remove the hose, simply press the unlocking mechanism at the end of the fitting, allowing easy extraction without any tools—making the process simple and fast. This structural design not only ensures secure connections but also enhances ease of disassembly. Moreover, the dual-seal structure significantly reduces the risk of air leaks or hose disconnection caused by equipment vibration, meeting the demands of automated equipment operating continuously over long periods.
