Smc Pneumatics KCE10-00 Bulkhead Union Fitting 10mm

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KCE10-00 is a push-to-connect bulkhead union tube fitting designed for routing pneumatic tubing through panels, enclosures, or bulkheads without tools. It accommodates 10 mm outside-diameter tubing and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 145 psi. The body is constructed from brass with polybutylene components, providing solid durability in compressed-air and fluid-handling lines. With an overall length of 59.50 mm (approximately 2.34 inches), it fits standard panel cutouts without consuming excessive space. Licensed HVAC technicians, pneumatic system integrators, and industrial plumbers install this type of fitting in equipment panels and manifold assemblies where tube lines must pass cleanly through a partition.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic plumbing applications, as well as industrial automation and instrumentation lines where a leak-free, push-to-connect bulkhead connection is required. The push-to-connect design allows fast tube insertion and secure retention without soldering, threading, or compression tooling. It is appropriate for use in equipment enclosures, control panels, and anywhere a clean through-panel tube connection is needed. Compliance with RoHS standards makes it suitable for installations where restricted-substance requirements apply.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Accepts 10 mm outside-diameter tubing
• Brass body with polybutylene components for reliable performance in pneumatic lines
• Overall length of approximately 2.34 inches (59.50 mm) for compact panel installation
• RoHS compliant for restricted-substance applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect bulkhead union for pneumatic tubing systems using 10 mm outside-diameter tubing at working pressures up to 145 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pneumatic system technicians, or industrial maintenance professionals. Before servicing or replacing fittings in a pressurized line, depressurize the system completely and verify zero pressure with a gauge before disconnecting any tubing. Ensure the panel hole diameter matches the fitting body specification to achieve a proper seal and secure mounting. Follow applicable industry codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when integrating fittings into compressed-air or fluid-handling systems.
