OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Pneumatic Connection

The ESAB T-Connector QSMT-6 (SKU: 0004414527) is a precision-engineered pneumatic fitting designed to facilitate the distribution of compressed air, shielding gas, or cooling fluids within complex industrial machinery. Manufactured to meet the rigorous standards of ESAB's equipment lines, this component is identified by the industry-standard designation QSMT-6, indicating a 'Quick Star Mini' T-shaped connector compatible with 6mm outer diameter tubing. This fitting is an essential component for maintenance professionals and industrial MRO specialists looking to maintain the integrity of pneumatic circuits.

Constructed with a durable PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) housing and nickel-plated brass components, the QSMT-6 is built to withstand the challenging environments often found in manufacturing and fabrication facilities. The push-in technology employed in this connector utilizes a stainless steel retaining claw that grips the tubing securely without damaging its surface, ensuring a leak-proof seal that can withstand standard operating pressures. The release ring allows for easy disconnection of the tube, making system modifications or repairs straightforward and tool-free.

This T-connector features a 360-degree rotatable body, which is particularly advantageous when routing tubing through the intricate internal chassis of power sources or automation equipment. By allowing the tubing to exit at the optimal angle, stress on the line is reduced, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the pneumatic circuit. Whether used for splitting a single input line into two outputs or combining flows, the ESAB T-Connector QSMT-6 delivers consistent performance and reliability.

Technical Specifications

The fitting is designed specifically for tubing with a standard 6mm outer diameter, a common size in European and international industrial equipment. It is compatible with various tubing materials, including polyurethane (PU) and polyamide (nylon), offering versatility across different applications. As a genuine ESAB spare part, it ensures exact dimensional fit and chemical compatibility with the systems it was designed to serve.

FAQ

The QSMT-6 is designed to accept tubing with an outer diameter (OD) of exactly 6mm.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB spare part with SKU 0004414527, ensuring compatibility with ESAB equipment.

The body is typically made of high-quality PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) with nickel-plated brass components for durability.

Yes, these push-in fittings are generally suitable for compressed air, inert gases, and water, provided the pressure and temperature are within the tubing's limits.

Simply cut the 6mm tubing square and push it firmly into the fitting port until it hits the stop. Pull back gently to ensure it is locked.

Press down on the release ring (usually blue or black) around the tube entry and simultaneously pull the tubing out.

It is often found inside the wire feeder assembly or the power source chassis, routing shielding gas from the solenoid to the gun connector.

If the leak is coming from a cracked or loose T-connector of this size, replacing it with a new QSMT-6 will resolve the issue.
