SMC KQB2 Series Threaded Bulkhead

SMC KQB2 Series Bulkhead Union, M14 Connection Size, 6mm Connection Size - KQB2E06-00

This bulkhead union connects a threaded pneumatic line to a panel-mounted bulkhead, providing a sealed passage for 6mm tubing through a panel. It is designed for use where a compact threaded connection is required for pneumatic systems operating across a range of temperatures.

Features and Benefits:

• Threaded M14x1 connection enables secure mechanical joining
  Bulkhead side accepts M14 fittings for panel mounting
  Rated for 1 MPa maximum operating pressure for pressurised systems
  Electroless nickel plating offers corrosion-resistant surface protection
  Operates between -5°C and 150°C for varied thermal conditions
  Conforms to RoHS to limit hazardous substances in applications

Applications

• Suitable for pneumatic line penetration through control panels
  Ideal for compressed air distribution in industrial machinery
  Used with instrument enclosures requiring sealed feed-throughs
  Can be used for maintenance-friendly quick disconnection points
  Suitable for environments needing corrosion-resistant fittings

What panel aperture is required for installation?

Installation requires a 15mm diameter mounting hole to accept the union body.

What size tubing fits the non-threaded side?

The union is compatible with 6mm tubing on the tubing-side connection.

How does the finish affect service life in aggressive atmospheres?

The electroless nickel-plated surface provides enhanced resistance to wear and mild corrosives, reducing surface degradation in such environments.

What temperature extremes can it endure during operation?

It is rated to function across an operational span from -5°C up to 150°C.
