Smc Pneumatics KQ2L03-U01A Male Elbow Tube Fitting

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2L03-U01A is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for pneumatic tubing connections in light industrial and trade applications. Constructed from brass with a polybutylene body, this elbow fitting accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing and features a 1/8-inch universal thread for direct port connections. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 145 psi, making it suitable for standard compressed-air and fluid-transfer lines. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this type of fitting to make reliable, tool-free tube connections in tight spaces where a 90-degree directional change is required.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial pneumatic or fluid-control systems where 5/32-inch OD tubing is used. The male elbow configuration allows a straight port to accept tubing routed at a 90-degree angle, reducing strain on tubing runs. Its compact form makes it useful in panel-mounted solenoid valve assemblies, control line installations, and instrument air circuits. The universal thread type broadens its applicability across a range of port standards commonly encountered in the field.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic systems using 5/32-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch universal threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified pneumatic system technicians. Before servicing any fitting connection, depressurize and lock out the air supply line in accordance with applicable safety procedures. Insert tubing fully into the fitting body until it seats against the internal collet, then apply a slight pull-back to confirm retention. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 145 psi during operation or testing.
