Smc Pneumatics KQ2L08-U02A Male Elbow Tube Fitting 8mm

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2L08-U02A is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines that require a 90-degree directional change. Built from brass with a polybutylene tube contact body, it accepts 8mm outside diameter tubing and connects to a 1/4-inch universal thread port. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 145 psi, it suits the pressure ranges common in light industrial and general-purpose pneumatic systems. Installation requires no tools for tube insertion - push the tube in to lock and pull the release collar to disconnect. Licensed plumbing and pneumatic technicians, as well as experienced mechanical contractors, are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic control lines, compressed-air distribution, and low-pressure fluid transfer applications in both light industrial and commercial settings. The male elbow configuration allows a right-angle connection at a threaded port, making it useful in tight enclosures or panel-mounted equipment where straight fittings would not clear adjacent components. The universal thread type broadens compatibility across common port standards encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and release
• Accepts 8mm outside diameter tubing
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass construction for durability in pneumatic service
• 1/4-inch universal thread for broad port compatibility
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and low-pressure fluid lines using 8mm outside diameter tubing and 1/4-inch threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any pneumatic fittings. Verify thread type and port size before installation to avoid cross-threading or leaks. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely - deformed or burred tube ends will prevent the internal collet from seating properly and can cause leaks under pressure. After installation, pressurize slowly and inspect all connections for leaks before returning the system to service.
