Cut the tube cleanly at both sides of the damage, insert both ends into the PU union, and the circuit is restored. Ensure both cut ends are square — angled cuts reduce the O-ring contact area and cause leaks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"What is the maximum pressure for PU push-to-connect fittings?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — 1.0 MPa (145 PSI). For higher pressures, use metal body push-to-connect fittings (SMC, Festo, Parker) rated to 1.5–2.0 MPa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"Can I use PU fittings for vacuum circuits?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — Yes, down to approximately -0.09 MPa (-90 kPa). Ensure tube ends are fully inserted and square for a leak-free vacuum seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"How do I release the tube from a PU fitting?\"\u003c\/em\u003e — Press the release collar (blue or grey ring) firmly inward toward the fitting body while simultaneously pulling the tube straight out. Do not pull at an angle — this jams the collet and can damage the tube OD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePneumatic automation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inline tube extensions, circuit repairs, tube routing changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCNC \u0026amp; machining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coolant mist system tube joins, air blow-off circuit extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquariums \u0026amp; hydroponics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air line extensions, CO₂ line repairs, nutrient solution circuit joins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D printing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bowden tube extensions, cooling circuit repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaboratory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas distribution line extensions, instrument air circuit repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23, 60, 80, or 100 pieces (select above) — PU4, PU6, PU8, PU14 straight push-to-connect union fittings in assorted quantities, supplied in organized storage box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cable Parts Online","offers":[{"title":"A kit (23pcs) \/ 1 BOX","offer_id":47850738548981,"sku":"14:201441572#A kit (23pcs);183:202360806#1 BOX","price":31.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A kit (23pcs) \/ 5 BOXES","offer_id":47850738516213,"sku":"14:201441572#A kit (23pcs);183:202360807#5 BOXES","price":143.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B kit (60pcs) \/ 1 BOX","offer_id":47850738483445,"sku":"14:10#B kit (60pcs);183:202360806#1 BOX","price":61.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B kit (60pcs) \/ 5 BOXES","offer_id":47850738450677,"sku":"14:10#B kit (60pcs);183:202360807#5 BOXES","price":274.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"D kit (80pcs) \/ 1 BOX","offer_id":47850738352373,"sku":"14:193#D kit (80pcs);183:202360806#1 BOX","price":65.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"D kit (80pcs) \/ 5 BOXES","offer_id":47850738319605,"sku":"14:193#D kit (80pcs);183:202360807#5 BOXES","price":294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"C kit (100pcs) \/ 1 BOX","offer_id":47850738417909,"sku":"14:173#C kit (100pcs);183:202360806#1 BOX","price":69.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"C kit (100pcs) \/ 5 BOXES","offer_id":47850738385141,"sku":"14:173#C kit (100pcs);183:202360807#5 BOXES","price":314.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3494\/0149\/files\/S2d87e374e4a8404e94f12ed09b1bea6aG.webp?v=1773899634","url":"https:\/\/www.csldmcml.com\/products\/pu-straight-pneumatic-fittings-kit-pu4-pu6-pu8-pu14-quick-release-4-10mm","provider":"Cable Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
