Smc Pneumatics KM12-09-36-10 Pneumatic Manifold

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KM12-09-36-10 is a multi-port pneumatic manifold designed to distribute compressed air from a central supply line to multiple downstream circuits. With two 3/8 inch inlet ports and ten 5/16 inch outlet ports, this manifold allows a single air source to feed up to ten individual lines simultaneously. The body is molded from composite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a rigid engineering thermoplastic suited for pneumatic service. Overall body length is approximately 5.20 inches (132 mm). This component is installed by pneumatic technicians, maintenance mechanics, and automation specialists building or servicing compressed air distribution systems.

This manifold is well suited for light industrial and automation environments where multiple pneumatic actuators, cylinders, or valves must be supplied from one common inlet. The 10-outlet configuration reduces the need for individual tee fittings and simplifies routing in panel builds, machine assemblies, and tooling stations. Its compact PBT construction keeps weight low at 1 pound, making it practical for mounting inside enclosures or on machine frames where space is limited.

Key Features

• Two 3/8 inch inlet ports for flexible supply connection from either side
• Ten 5/16 inch outlet ports for high-density air distribution
• Composite polybutylene terephthalate body for rigidity and chemical resistance in pneumatic service
• Overall length of 5.20 inches (132 mm) for compact panel or frame mounting
• Lightweight at 1 pound, minimizing load on mounting surfaces
• Black finish for straightforward identification and a clean appearance in assembled systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic manifold for use in compressed air distribution systems requiring a 3/8 inch inlet and 5/16 inch outlet port configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician or maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply fully before removing or installing any manifold in the system. Verify that all fittings and tubing inserted into the outlet ports are rated for the system operating pressure before returning the circuit to service. Secure the manifold to a stable surface using appropriate hardware to prevent movement under cyclic pressure loads.
