Smc Pneumatics KQ2L06-M6A Male Elbow Fitting 6mm M6

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2L06-M6A is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. Constructed from brass with a polybutylene body, this fitting accepts 6mm outside diameter tubing and threads into M6 male ports. It handles a maximum working pressure of 145 psi, making it suitable for compressed air and water service in industrial and light commercial applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install this type of fitting where space constraints require a 90-degree change of direction at the connection point.

This fitting is suited for use in compressed air distribution systems and water lines where a compact elbow connection is needed. It is commonly installed in pneumatic control panels, small-bore tubing assemblies, and fluid handling equipment. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for ferrules, thread tape on the tube end, or special crimping tools, speeding up assembly and field service. Operating temperature range spans 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F, covering most indoor industrial environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with compressed air and water systems using 6mm outside diameter tubing and M6 threaded ports. Consult system documentation to confirm port thread and tube size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pneumatic system technicians or licensed plumbers depending on the application. Depressurize and lock out the system before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the M6 port threads are clean and undamaged before threading the fitting in by hand. Push tubing firmly into the collet until it seats fully, and verify a secure connection by gently pulling back on the tube before returning the system to service.
