Pneumatic Multi-Connector

Festo Pneumatic Multi-Connector

Festo’s pneumatic multi-connectors deliver efficient and reliable compressed-air distribution from a single input port to multiple output ports — enabling compact, organized and flexible pneumatic network layouts. These distributors are built for industrial use, with standardized mounting, modular porting, and high-quality materials to ensure long service life in demanding environments.

These multi-connectors are available in a range of connection counts (e.g., 5, 8, 12, 16 or 22 outputs), and support universally used pneumatic tubing sizes and port dimensions — making them ideal for use across machine tool automation, handling systems, packaging lines and compressed-air networks.

⭐ Important: Multi-connectors provide high-density output in a compact footprint, modular and scalable porting, and durable industrial construction — making them the preferred choice for efficient compressed-air distribution.

Design & Functionality

Multi-connectors distribute compressed air by splitting a single supply feed into multiple output lines, with built-in port numbering, keyed housings and secure mounting interfaces. Their internal design ensures stable flow, minimal leakage and consistent performance across all output ports.

Festo provides variants including:
• Distributor blocks with fixed output port counts
• Modular multi-connectors that allow output-port expansion
• Versions with integrated mounting flange or combinable manifold rail designs
• High-pressure or vacuum capable variants for specialized uses

The connectors are engineered for low internal loss, quick installation, and secure mechanical and pneumatic connections, supporting complex pneumatic systems and high-cycle automated environments.

⭐ Important: Standardised port numbering and keyed housings ensure error-free installation and fast commissioning in large-scale automation systems.

Total Crossed Beams

(Applied to the functional coverage of multi-connector families)

The product family covers full capacity distribution solutions — from small 5-port units to high-density 22-port (or higher) configurations, enabling designers to select the right size for any pneumatic network.

It ensures full operational capability regardless of outlet count, mounting orientation, or layout constraints. The construction maintains stable pressure distribution and repeatability across all ports under varying load conditions.

Beam Pitch Options

(Translated as: output-port counts, connection sizes, build variants)

Wide selection of output port counts and connection sizes to match system demands. Configurable features include:
• 5-, 8-, 12-, 16- or 22-port versions (depending on model)
• Tube size compatibility (e.g., Ø 4 mm, Ø 6 mm) or threaded port versions
• Flange mounting or rail-mounting options
• Versions suited for compressed air or vacuum systems

This flexibility ensures the multi-connector can be optimized for compact installation, high output count, ease of maintenance, or special mediums as needed.

⭐ Important: The diverse output-port options and mounting variants ensure optimal distribution layout and system scalability in nearly any pneumatic control scenario.

Intrinsic Synchronism

Internal port-routing and sealing system ensure synchronized flow delivery across all outlets with minimal variation. Select models include mounting features (e.g., keyed location lugs) for accurate alignment and repeatable installation.

Ensures consistent outlet performance, supporting reliable pneumatic operations and machine repeatability.
