Festo QS-8-50 Push-In Pneumatic Connector 8mm Tube 1/2 Inch Thread

This is a pneumatic push-in connector, not a CCTV product — it's stocked here as a general workshop/automation component alongside the camera range, for installers who also handle pneumatic control panels or air-actuated equipment on site.

The Festo QS-8-50 joins 8mm outer-diameter pneumatic tubing to a 1/2 inch male-threaded port. It's a genuine automation-industry fitting, so the notes below apply whether it ends up on a valve, cylinder, manifold or air preparation unit.

Key specs

• Tube fit: 8mm outer diameter push-in tubing
• Thread: 1/2 inch male, with sealant pre-applied at the factory — no PTFE tape needed
• Thread material: nickel-plated brass, giving corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Fitting method: tool-free push-in; an integrated release ring lets you pull the tube back out for maintenance or reconfiguration
• Compatibility: stated by the manufacturer as compatible with Festo pneumatic tubing and automation equipment

Typical use

Anywhere an 8mm compressed-air line needs to terminate in a 1/2 inch threaded port — control panels, machine air lines, and general industrial pneumatic distribution. Not a camera-mounting or enclosure part; don't specify it against a CCTV bill of materials.

Fitting notes

Push the tube fully home until it seats against the internal stop — this is what gives the leak-resistant seal. To remove, depress the release ring evenly while withdrawing the tube; uneven pressure can mark the tube end.
