FAQ

The grid symbol on Festo air preparation units indicates a filter or conditioning component. In the context of the FRM-D-MIDI branching module, it signifies that the air passing through should be pre-conditioned, as this module is part of a larger Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) assembly.

While it can technically be used standalone to split an air line, the FRM-D-MIDI is specifically designed for modular integration with other Festo D-Series MIDI components like filters, regulators, and lubricators. It uses connecting plates and seals for a seamless, leak-proof assembly within a service unit combination.

The Festo FRM-D-MIDI (186523) typically features G1/2 threads for the main inlet and outlet ports, and one or more smaller G1/4 threaded ports on the side for branching off smaller air lines or for mounting pressure gauges. Always verify the specific configuration for your application.
