RECTUS pneumatic fitting 6 mm model 12026, push-in connector for 6mm tubing

RECTUS model 12026 is a pneumatic push-in connector designed for use with 6 mm tubing. The fitting delivers a compact, tool-free connection for compressed air and pneumatic lines, enabling quick assembly and straightforward termination of 6 mm hoses in automation systems and industrial installations. Constructed to fit standard 6 mm pneumatic tubing, this connector is intended for applications that require secure, low-profile joints with fast installation and removal.

Advantages

This push-in connector provides fast, tool-free installation and removal of 6 mm tubing, reducing assembly time and simplifying maintenance. Its compact profile saves space in confined panels and machine layouts while delivering reliable seals for pneumatic lines. The design minimizes air leak potential and allows repeated re-connections without degrading performance, making it suitable for routine adjustments and modular system layouts.

Suitable for

• Compressed air distribution in production lines
• Pneumatic connections in automation equipment
• Control panels and valve manifolds
• Machine pneumatics and actuators
• Prototyping and modular pneumatic systems

Key specifications

• Tube compatibility: 6 mm outer diameter pneumatic tubing
• Connection type: push-in (quick-connect) for one tube end
• Intended medium: compressed air and compatible inert gases
• Mounting/profile: compact inline connector suitable for tight spaces
• Operation: tool-free insertion and manual release

How to use

Ensure that tubing is cut squarely and free of burrs before insertion. Push the 6 mm tube firmly into the connector until it seats against the internal stop; you should feel it click into place. To remove the tube, depress the release collar and pull the tubing out while holding the collar depressed. Install connectors in clean, dry lines and avoid twisting the tubing during insertion to maintain sealing performance.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 6 mm pneumatic tubing and verify pressure ratings of the system; avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or temperatures outside the tubing and system specifications. Regularly inspect connections for wear or damage and replace fittings if sealing performance diminishes.
