Smc Pneumatics KCE08-00 Bulkhead Union Fitting 8mm

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KCE08-00 is a bulkhead union push-to-connect tube fitting designed for routing pneumatic tubing through panels, enclosures, or bulkhead walls. Built with a brass body and polybutylene tubing interface, this fitting accepts 8 mm outside diameter tubing and holds a maximum working pressure of 145 psi. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure retention without ferrules or threads at the tube end. At 52.50 mm overall length, it provides a compact through-wall solution. This fitting is installed by pneumatic system technicians, mechanical assemblers, and industrial maintenance professionals working on compressed air or fluid distribution systems.

The KCE08-00 is suited for light industrial and automation applications where pneumatic tubing must pass cleanly through a panel or structural divider. It is commonly used in compressed air distribution lines, pneumatic control panels, and fluid handling assemblies where a secure, leak-resistant bulkhead connection is required. The push-to-connect interface simplifies field installation and reduces assembly time in both new builds and retrofit applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on bulkhead union fitting for pneumatic systems using 8 mm outside diameter push-to-connect tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the panel or bulkhead hole is sized correctly for the fitting body and that the locking nut is tightened securely to prevent pull-through or rotation during service. Verify tubing is fully seated in the fitting after insertion by giving it a firm pull-test before returning the system to pressure.
