Smc Pneumatics KM11-04-08-6 Pneumatic Manifold

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KM11-04-08-6 is a multi-port pneumatic manifold designed to distribute compressed air from a centralized inlet to multiple outlet lines. Built with a composite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) body in black, this manifold features two 8 mm inlet ports and six 4 mm outlet ports, making it well suited for routing air to multiple actuators, valves, or pneumatic tools from a single supply point. With an overall length of 65 mm (approximately 2.56 inches), the compact form factor fits easily into tight panel or manifold mounting arrangements. Licensed pneumatic technicians and automation integrators are the typical installers.

This manifold is used in industrial pneumatic systems where a single compressed air supply line needs to feed multiple downstream circuits simultaneously. Common applications include factory automation, machine building, and process control installations where space-efficient air distribution is required. The 6-outlet configuration reduces plumbing complexity by eliminating the need for individual tee fittings at each branch point. It is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty pneumatic circuits operating within the pressure and temperature ratings of the PBT body material.

Key Features

• Two 8 mm inlet ports allow dual-supply connections for redundancy or balanced flow
• Six 4 mm outlet ports distribute air to multiple downstream devices from one manifold
• Composite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) body offers chemical resistance and lightweight construction
• Compact 65 mm overall length fits space-constrained enclosures and panels
• Black finish aids visual identification in multi-manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pneumatic manifold for compressed air distribution systems using 8 mm supply lines and 4 mm branch tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pneumatic technician or automation specialist. Before servicing or installing, depressurize the air supply line and bleed any residual pressure from the system. Verify that all tubing connections are fully seated and that the inlet and outlet port sizes match the tubing and fittings in the existing circuit. Follow applicable local and facility safety codes for compressed air systems when routing and securing tubing runs.
