Smc Pneumatics KQ2W06-01AS Push-to-connect Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2W06-01AS is a push-to-connect extended male elbow tube fitting designed for pneumatic plumbing systems. It accepts 6mm outside diameter tubing and connects via a 1/8 BSPT threaded male port, allowing a 90-degree directional change in a compressed-air or pneumatic line without the need for additional tools to secure the tube. The brass body provides durability in industrial environments, while the polybutylene tube collet delivers reliable grip and seal. Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting suits standard shop-air and light industrial pneumatic circuits. Licensed HVAC techs, industrial pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic tubing runs in light industrial and commercial automation equipment, machine tool panels, and compressed-air distribution systems where a compact 90-degree elbow transition is required. The extended male elbow configuration provides additional thread engagement depth, which is useful in panels or manifolds where the fitting must stand off from a flat surface. Operating temperature range spans 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor industrial and commercial service environments. RoHS compliance supports use in applications with environmental material restrictions.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure retention up to 145 psi
• Extended male elbow body provides standoff clearance from panel or manifold surfaces
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in standard compressed-air environments
• 1/8 BSPT male thread suits metric-standard pneumatic ports common in automation equipment
• Rated operating range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F covers typical indoor service conditions
• RoHS compliant materials for use in environmentally restricted installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting compatible with 6mm outside diameter polybutylene or equivalent flexible pneumatic tubing used in compressed-air systems with 1/8 BSPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pneumatic system technicians or qualified industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and lock out the compressed-air supply line before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the threaded port is clean and free of debris before engaging the BSPT male thread; use appropriate thread sealant compatible with compressed air per site or equipment manufacturer guidelines. Cut tubing squarely and insert fully until it bottoms in the collet to ensure a proper seal; do not exceed the rated working pressure of 145 psi.
