Description

Prevost Conex Reducer

Space-Saving Diameter Adaptation for Direct Port Mounting

The Prevost Conex Reducer is a precision-engineered “plug-in” adapter designed to downsize the connection port of an existing push-to-connect fitting. Unlike a standard union reducer that connects two pieces of tubing, this component features a stem-to-tube design. The smooth stem (the larger end) plugs directly into an existing fitting, while the smaller end provides a new push-in port for a reduced diameter line.

This is the ultimate solution for engineers and technicians who need to adapt system sizes without adding the bulk of extra tubing or multiple couplings.

Key Features

• Direct Stem-In Installation: The rigid stem is designed to mimic the outer diameter of standard pneumatic tubing. This allows it to seat perfectly into the gripping ring and O-ring of any standard Conex or push-to-connect fitting.
• Streamlined Profile: Because the larger end “disappears” into the existing fitting, the Conex Reducer adds very little length to your assembly. This makes it ideal for dense manifold blocks where space is at an absolute premium.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: The reduced port features a high-precision stainless steel gripping ring. Simply push the smaller technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for a secure, airtight, and vibration-resistant connection.
• Durable Technical Polymer: Constructed from high-impact, corrosion-resistant polymer. It is designed to handle the rigors of industrial air systems, including exposure to moisture and common compressor oils.
• Full-Bore Flow Efficiency: The internal transition is tapered to ensure a smooth air path, reducing turbulence and maintaining consistent pressure as the air moves into the smaller diameter line.

The Efficient Choice for Modular Systems

The Prevost Conex Reducer is a “system-level” problem solver. Often, a valve manifold or filter-regulator unit is only available with larger ports (e.g., 10mm), but the specific sensor or cylinder you are feeding requires 6mm tubing. Instead of using a 10mm tube followed by a bulky union, you can plug the reducer directly into the 10mm valve port and immediately start your 6mm run.

This reduces the number of potential leak points and significantly cleans up the visual “spaghetti” of the pneumatic circuit.

Ideal Applications

• Valve Manifolds: Downsizing large valve outlets to match smaller actuator lines.
• Sensor Integration: Plucking air signals from main distribution blocks into 4mm or 6mm pilot lines.
• System Retrofitting: Adapting newer, smaller components to existing large-diameter pneumatic infrastructure.
• Maintenance Kits: A vital “emergency” component for adapting whatever tubing sizes are available on-site during a repair.

Selection Tip

When ordering, identify the Stem Size (the fitting it plugs into) first, followed by the Tube Size (the new port size). For example, a “10mm – 6mm Reducer” will have a 10mm stem and a 6mm push-in port.
