Smc Pneumatics KQ2H11-37AS Push-to-connect Fitting 3/8 Od

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2H11-37AS is a push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for fast, tool-free tubing connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. Built from brass with a polybutylene body, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects via a 1/2 inch NPT male thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 145 psi and handles operating temperatures from 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. The compact design supports quick tube insertion and secure retention without soldering, flaring, or ferrule compression. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for light industrial and commercial pneumatic plumbing applications where push-to-connect convenience is needed at 1/2 inch NPT threaded ports. It is commonly used in compressed air distribution lines, pneumatic control circuits, and low-pressure fluid conveyance systems. The brass and polybutylene construction makes it compatible with a range of dry air and compatible fluid media. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one unit per package.
