Smc Pneumatics KQ2L06-08A Reducer Elbow Fitting 145 Psi

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2L06-08A is a push-to-connect plug-in reducer elbow tube fitting constructed from brass and polybutylene. It joins two different tube sizes at a 90-degree elbow, reducing from an 8 mm stem outside diameter down to a 6 mm tube outside diameter without tools or ferrules. Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles a broad temperature range from 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F, making it suitable for compressed air and pneumatic control lines in light industrial and commercial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is designed for use in pneumatic tubing systems where two different tube sizes must be joined at a right angle. Common installation scenarios include instrument air lines, automation control panels, and compressed air distribution manifolds in light industrial, OEM equipment, and commercial facility maintenance settings. Its push-to-connect mechanism allows fast assembly and disassembly without additional fittings or thread sealant, which is useful in systems that require periodic reconfiguration.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect reducer elbow fitting for pneumatic tubing systems using 6 mm and 8 mm outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic fitting. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely, and that tube outside diameter matches the fitting port size before insertion. Verify the system operating pressure does not exceed the 145 psi rated maximum working pressure of this fitting.
