Smc Pneumatics KQ2T13-00A Union Tee Fitting 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2T13-00A is a push-to-connect union tee tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid distribution systems. Built with a brass body and polybutylene construction, it accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on all three ports without tools, allowing fast, secure connections in compressed air lines, instrumentation runs, and light industrial plumbing. It is rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting during new construction, system expansion, or repair work where a tee branch connection is required in a tubing run.

The KQ2T13-00A suits residential and light commercial pneumatic control systems, compressed air distribution lines, and fluid handling applications operating within its rated pressure and temperature range. Its push-to-connect design is particularly useful in tight spaces or panel installations where wrench access is limited. The fitting is compliant with RoHS standards, making it appropriate for projects where restricted-substance compliance is required. It is sold individually and is well-suited for service techs carrying standard fittings stock for field repair calls.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on all three ports - no tools required for tube insertion
• Brass body construction with polybutylene components for corrosion resistance
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range: 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F
• RoHS compliant for restricted-substance sensitive applications
• Compact overall length of 46.80 mm for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect union tee replacement for pneumatic tubing systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits of this fitting.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation technicians working on pneumatic or fluid systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or inserting tubing. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter - deformed or angled cuts can compromise the push-to-connect seal. Verify the tubing OD and system pressure are within the fitting's rated specifications before returning the system to service.
