Smc Pneumatics KQ2T08-01AS Male Branch Tee Fitting 145 Psi

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2T08-01AS is a push-to-connect male branch tee tube fitting designed for pneumatic plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from brass with polybutylene tube contact components, it accepts an 8mm outside diameter tube and connects via a 1/8 BSPT male thread. Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is suited for compressed air lines and compatible pneumatic circuits in light industrial and automation environments. Installation requires no tools on the tube side - simply insert the tube to lock and pull to release. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians typically handle installations of this fitting type.

This fitting is appropriate for use in pneumatic manifold assemblies, branch distribution lines, and inline tee connections where a male threaded port branches into two push-connect tube outlets. Its operating temperature range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F makes it suitable for standard indoor industrial environments. The RoHS-compliant construction aligns with applications where material compliance documentation is required on the job site or in system build documentation.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ports - no tools required for tube insertion or removal
• Brass body with polybutylene components for corrosion resistance in pneumatic service
• 145 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 8mm tube outside diameter compatibility
• 1/8 BSPT male thread for direct port connection
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic systems using 8mm outside diameter tubing and 1/8 BSPT threaded ports, consistent with light industrial compressed air distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit completely before installing or removing this fitting. Thread the male BSPT end into the receiving port by hand first, then tighten with an appropriate wrench - do not overtighten brass fittings into threaded ports. Insert tubing straight and fully into the push-connect collet until seated; confirm a secure connection by pulling back lightly on the tube before repressurizing. Installation should comply with applicable pneumatic system codes and the equipment manufacturer's pressure and temperature requirements.
