Proper pneumatic tubing routing requires maintaining minimum bend radii of 8x tube diameter, securing tubes every 12-18 inches to prevent vibration damage, avoiding sharp edges and pinch points, and planning for thermal expansion – effective routing extends tubing life by 400-600% while reducing maintenance interventions by 80% and improving machine reliability to 99%+ uptime.

Preventing pneumatic leaks requires proper push-in fitting installation through clean hose preparation, correct insertion depth, adequate hose support, appropriate fitting selection for your application, and regular maintenance inspection – following these best practices eliminates 95% of connection-related leaks while ensuring reliable, long-lasting pneumatic connections that maintain system efficiency.

Selecting the right pneumatic fitting requires matching the fitting type (barb, compression, or push-to-connect) to your hose material (PU, nylon, or rubber), ensuring proper size compatibility, pressure rating alignment, and connection method suitability – correct pairing prevents leaks, blow-offs, and premature failure while maximizing system efficiency and safety with connection strengths exceeding 80% of hose burst pressure.
