Smc Pneumatics KQ2U03-00A Union Y Fitting 5/32 Inch Od

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2U03-00A is a push-to-connect union Y tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid conveyance systems where a single tube line needs to branch into two paths. Constructed from brass and polybutylene, the fitting accepts tubing with a 5/32 inch outside diameter and handles a maximum working pressure of 145 psi. Installation requires no tools for tube insertion, which reduces assembly time in high-volume tubing runs. Licensed trades and automation technicians working on compressed-air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and light fluid distribution systems will encounter this fitting as a standard inline component.

The KQ2U03-00A fits residential and light commercial pneumatic plumbing applications where 5/32 inch OD tubing is routed through Y-branch configurations. Typical install scenarios include compressed-air instrumentation panels, pneumatic actuator supply lines, and OEM machine assemblies. The fitting is suited for systems operating within a temperature range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor mechanical and automation environments. It carries RoHS compliance, supporting use in applications where restricted-substance requirements apply.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Union Y configuration splits one inlet into two outlets for branch-line routing
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass and polybutylene construction for durability in pneumatic service
• Accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing
• RoHS compliant for restricted-substance sensitive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid conveyance tubing systems using 5/32 inch outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic or mechanical technicians. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before servicing any fitting on a live pneumatic circuit. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely to achieve a leak-free push-to-connect seal. Verify that system operating pressure does not exceed the 145 psi rated maximum and that ambient temperatures remain within the specified service range.
