Smc Pneumatics KQ2L08-10A Reducer Elbow Fitting 145 Psi

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2L08-10A is a plug-in reducer elbow fitting designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It connects tubes of two different outside diameters at a 90-degree angle without tools, allowing fast, secure line routing changes in tight spaces. Constructed from brass and polybutylene, the KQ2L08-10A handles a maximum working pressure of 145 psi and is rated for operating temperatures from 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting in compressed air, water, and compatible fluid distribution lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic and plumbing applications where tubing size reduction and directional change are needed at a single connection point. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for threading, soldering, or clamps at the fitting joint, making it a practical choice for new installations and service work. The 8 mm tube outside diameter inlet and 10 mm stem outside diameter outlet accommodate common metric tubing sizes found in pneumatic control and fluid distribution systems.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Reducer elbow configuration handles both a direction change and a size transition in one fitting
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F
• Brass and polybutylene construction for durability and chemical compatibility
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect reducer elbow for pneumatic and fluid distribution systems using metric tubing with an 8 mm outside diameter on the tube side and a 10 mm outside diameter on the stem side.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disconnecting or inserting any fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or relevant pneumatic system standards for pressure ratings and approved materials in the intended service environment.
