The fitting accepts an 8 mm outside diameter tube on the reduced end and a 12 mm outside diameter tube on the stem end, making it a straightforward solution for downsizing airflow paths within a pneumatic circuit. Constructed from brass and polybutylene, the KQ2R08-12A is rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure and handles a service temperature range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. It is installed by automation technicians, maintenance mechanics, and pneumatic systems specialists in industrial and light commercial compressed-air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for compressed-air distribution and fluid-control plumbing systems that require a reliable, leak-resistant tube reduction without threading or soldering. Its push-to-connect mechanism allows fast assembly and, where the fitting design permits, tube removal for reconfiguration during system maintenance or expansion. The KQ2R08-12A is appropriate for use in automated machinery, pneumatic panels, and air-tool supply lines where different tube sizes must be joined inline. The overall length of 36.50 mm keeps the installed footprint compact in tight panel or manifold layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 12 mm stem outside diameter down to 8 mm tube outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 145 psi maximum working pressure for standard industrial compressed-air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass and polybutylene construction provides durability in pneumatic environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F suits most indoor industrial conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-to-connect reducer for pneumatic tubing systems requiring an inline reduction between 8 mm and 12 mm outside diameter tubing in compressed-air or compatible fluid-control circuits rated within the 145 psi working pressure limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified pneumatic or mechanical technicians. Before servicing any pneumatic fitting, depressurize and lock out the compressed-air supply line in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Ensure tube ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Verify the system operating pressure does not exceed the 145 psi rated maximum of this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter (Reduced End)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Push-to-Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass, Polybutylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: RoHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMC PNEUMATICS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KQ2R08-12A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083585057074,"sku":"KQ2R08-12A","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/30f7bd33d5b722eadc5182cf47b22e81_6b1686c4-d56b-4ae0-b816-c90451304a6a.jpg?v=1790057594","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smc-pneumatics-kq2r08-12a-plug-in-reducer-fitting-145-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
