SMC KQ2 Series Polybutylene Terephthalate Pneumatic Fitting, Push-in 8 mm One Touch Push-in

SMC KQ2 Series Pneumatic Fitting, Push-in 8mm Connection Size, 1Mpa Maximum Operating Pressure - KQ2U08-00A

This pneumatic fitting provides a straightforward means to connect compressed Air lines using a one-touch mechanism at one end and a push-in connection at the other. It is intended for use within pneumatic systems where a quick-release tubular connection and a secure push-fit are required, and it is constructed from a Durable polymer with a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for typical industrial Air supply environments.

Features and Benefits:

• 1MPa maximum operating pressure supports moderate pressure pneumatic systems
  60°C maximum operating temperature allows high-temperature Air handling
  Electroless nickel plating enhances surface corrosion resistance
  Polybutylene terephthalate body reduces component weight and wear
  Push-in 8mm connection size enables quick hose insertion

Applications

• Suitable for automated pneumatic valve manifolds in factories
  Used with tool feeds requiring fast-disconnect tubing changes
  Ideal for Air line distribution where space is restricted
  Can be used for conveyor actuators in production lines
  Used for maintenance tasks that need Rapid tubing replacement

What materials contact the Air flow inside the connector?

The internal structure is formed from polybutylene terephthalate ensuring compatibility with compressed air.

How does the surface finish affect long-term installation?

Electroless nickel plating on exposed surfaces reduces corrosion risk in humid or mildly corrosive atmospheres.

What are the limits for pressure and temperature during operation?

The allowable operating envelope is up to 1MPa and temperatures as high as 60°C.

Which tubing size will fit without adapters?

A push-in 8mm tube can be inserted directly into the push-in interface.

Is the product compliant with any environmental directive?

It is RoHS compliant indicating restricted use of certain hazardous substances.
