Product Description
Pneumatic tubing isn't something most CCTV buyers deal with, so a quick orientation: this is a fitting for compressed-air lines, not a camera or recorder part. FESTO-QST-6-100 is a T-shaped connector with three ports. One compressed-air supply goes in and branches into two lines, which is what Festo designed it for in pneumatic installations and automation equipment.
Check this before ordering
- Tube size: all three ports take tube with a 6 mm outside diameter. Outside diameter (OD) is the width across the outside of the tube wall, not the hole running through it, so measure the outside.
- Ports: three, all push-in. Push-in simply means the tube is pressed into the port to fit it.
What it's made of
- Housing: lightweight PBT, a hard-wearing plastic (polybutylene terephthalate).
- Seals: NBR, which is nitrile rubber.
- Grip: stainless-steel gripping components hold each tube in place.
- Release: blue release rings on the connections let you take a tube back out, so a line can be changed later without cutting it.
If your tube has any other outside diameter, this connector isn't the one to pick. The 6 in the model code is the tube size.

Which materials go into the QST-6-100?
The body is light PBT plastic, the seals are NBR, and stainless-steel parts grip the tube.
What does a T-connector do in an air line?
It lets one compressed-air supply branch into two lines, for pneumatic installations and automation equipment.
