Smc Pneumatics KQ2E08-01A Tube Fitting Female Bulkhead

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2E08-01A is a push-to-connect female bulkhead tube fitting designed for pneumatic plumbing applications requiring a secure panel or bulkhead pass-through connection. Constructed from brass with a polybutylene tube collet, this fitting accepts 8 mm outside diameter tubing and threads into a 1/8 inch BSPT port. It is rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Licensed pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting where a tube line must pass through a panel wall with a leak-free, tool-free tube connection on one side and a threaded port on the other.

This fitting is suited for compressed air distribution lines in light industrial, automation, and process control systems. The bulkhead design allows routing of pneumatic tubing through enclosure walls, machine frames, or manifold panels. It is a direct-fit component for systems already standardized on BSPT threaded ports and 8 mm OD flexible tubing, including common polyurethane and nylon pneumatic lines used in factory automation and fluid transfer assemblies.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention at 145 psi
• Female bulkhead configuration enables panel pass-through routing of pneumatic lines
• 1/8 inch BSPT thread for compatibility with metric-standard pneumatic porting
• Accepts 8 mm outside diameter tubing
• Brass body construction for durability in compressed air service
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for pneumatic systems using 8 mm OD tubing and 1/8 inch BSPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by pneumatic or industrial maintenance technicians. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic fitting. Thread the fitting body through the panel cutout and secure the locknut to the required torque per the system manufacturer guidelines. Insert tubing fully into the push-connect end until it seats; confirm retention by pulling back on the tube before re-pressurizing the system.
