Festo 153487 Pneumatic Ball Valve 1/8 Inch NPT

The Festo QH-QS-6-1/8, part number 153487, is a compact manual pneumatic shut-off valve designed to start, stop, or isolate compressed air in industrial automation. In a 2/2-way configuration, it uses a manual quarter-turn action and combines a QS push-in fitting for 6 mm tubing with a 1/8 in male thread for easy integration into existing circuits. The nickel-plated brass body houses an NBR seal, delivering reliable operation from vacuum up to 10 bar (145 psi) and a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, with bidirectional flow and mounting in any position. It is commonly installed in pneumatic cylinders, valve manifolds, and automation equipment where quick manual isolation or flow control of compressed air is required. Typical applications include pneumatic control systems, automated assembly lines, packaging equipment, and process automation tasks in industrial environments where a compact manual shut-off valve is needed.
