Smc Pneumatics KQ2H10-01AS Push-to-connect Fitting 145 Psi

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2H10-01AS is a push-to-connect straight connector fitting designed for use in pneumatic tubing systems. It accepts 10 mm outside-diameter polybutylene tube and connects via a 1/8 inch BSPT threaded port. Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure, the fitting is constructed from brass for durability in compressed-air and light fluid transfer lines. Installation requires no tools on the tube side - the push-in collet locks the tube on insertion and releases with a simple collar push. Operating temperature range is 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting in control line and instrument air applications.

The KQ2H10-01AS suits residential and light commercial pneumatic control systems, instrument air manifolds, and automation equipment where a reliable straight inline connection is needed between a threaded port and a 10 mm OD tube run. It is a single-unit item with no minimum order quantity beyond one piece, making it practical for service calls requiring a single replacement fitting.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design: no tools required on the tube side for insertion or release
• 145 psi maximum working pressure for compressed-air and instrument air service
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability
• Compatible with 10 mm OD polybutylene tubing
• 1/8 inch BSPT threaded port for direct connection to BSPT-ported components
• RoHS compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style straight connector for pneumatic systems using 10 mm OD polybutylene tubing and 1/8 inch BSPT threaded ports, consistent with BSPT-standard pneumatic control and instrument air equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or licensed tradesperson. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any fitting. Confirm the receiving port thread type is BSPT before installation, as BSPT and NPT threads are not interchangeable. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely for a leak-free collet seal.
