Fitting Types in This Category

Tube x Tube Fittings

Ideal for connecting two sections of tubing in straight or angled configurations, Tube x Tube fittings offer quick assembly and strong retention. Commonly used in distribution lines or branch circuits, they simplify layout changes and maintenance tasks.


Tube x Stem Fittings

These fittings allow a tube to connect securely to a stem adaptor or another fitting, offering flexibility when integrating multiple connection types or extending tubing systems.


Tube x BSPP Thread Fittings

Incorporating British Standard Parallel Pipe threads, this range is designed for compatibility with BSPP pneumatic components and provides a reliable, leak-tight seal when used with the integrated O-ring or Teflon coating.


Tube x BSPT Thread Fittings

Featuring British Standard Tapered Pipe threads, BSPT fittings offer a mechanical seal ideal for air-tight joints in pressurised systems. Their tapered profile provides a robust connection where vibration or movement is common.


Tube x Metric Thread Fittings

Designed to integrate with metric-threaded pneumatic equipment, these fittings ensure compatibility with a wide variety of machinery and automation systems used across European manufacturing environments.


Tube x NPT Thread Fittings

With National Pipe Tapered threads, these fittings are widely used in North American and international systems. They provide strong, self-sealing connections ideal for export machinery or mixed-standard installations.


Inch Tube x NPT Thread Fittings

Tailored for imperial tubing sizes, this range combines inch-size push-in connections with NPT-threaded ports, bridging systems that mix measurement standards without compromising on performance or pressure integrity.


Inch Tube x UNF Thread Fittings

Featuring Unified National Fine threads, these fittings are suitable for precision pneumatic assemblies, often found in instrumentation, automation, and testing environments where a fine-threaded seal is preferred.


Emergency Fittings Kits

Compact, portable kits designed for rapid on-site repairs or maintenance. Each kit includes a selection of push-in fittings and a tube cutter, providing everything required to restore pneumatic functionality quickly. Constructed from nickel-plated brass and PBT resin, these kits ensure reliability in mobile or workshop settings.


Valves

The valve range enables precise airflow regulation for pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and motion control systems. With control-in and control-out models available, users can finely tune actuation speeds while maintaining a compact installation footprint.

How to Use Kelm One-Touch Push-In Fittings

Kelm’s reusable one-touch fittings are designed to make pneumatic installations fast, reliable, and completely tool-free. Their intuitive push-fit mechanism allows for instant connection and disconnection, even in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

Installation

  • Cut the Tube Cleanly: Ensure the tube end is cut square with no burrs or sharp edges. A clean, straight cut helps maintain a perfect seal
  • Insert the Tube: Simply push the tube firmly into the fitting’s ring end until it reaches the internal stop. The collet grips the tube securely, creating an airtight connection
  • Check the Connection: Gently pull back on the tube to confirm it is locked in place. No tools, clamps, or additional sealants are required

Disconnection

  • Depress the Release Ring: Apply light pressure on the elliptical release ring to disengage the internal collet grip
  • Withdraw the Tube: While pressing the ring, pull the tube out smoothly. The fitting can then be reused without damage or loss of sealing performance

Threaded Connections

  • The tapered threaded fittings in the range are pre-coated with Teflon sealant, removing the need for separate PTFE tape or thread compound
  • Tighten the fitting securely using a suitable wrench on the hexagonal flats, avoiding over-torqueing to preserve the integrity of the thread seal
