Male Studs (Straight Connector)
Male studs are often used to connect pneumatic devices (valves, cylinders) with pneumatic tubing, and Push-In fittings allow for easy disconnection. Male studs are sometimes also called 'Straight Connector'.
Push-In Fitting Usage
With Push-In fittings, simply place your tubing into the tube end of the fitting, and lock jaws will engage to. A gentle tug will ensure that your tubing is locked into place, rendering it suitable for high pressure usage in pneumatic systems.
To disconnect the tubing, push the release ring. This disengages the lock jaws, and the tubing is able to move freely.
