Smc Pneumatics KQ2W09-36AS Extended Male Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2W09-36AS is a push-to-connect extended male elbow tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines. Constructed from brass and polybutylene, this fitting accepts 5/16-inch OD tubing and connects to 3/8-inch NPT threaded ports. The elbow geometry routes tubing at a 90-degree angle in space-constrained installations, while the push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion. Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure, the KQ2W09-36AS is suited for compressed air, pneumatic control, and compatible fluid systems. HVAC technicians, pneumatic system assemblers, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This fitting is applied in pneumatic control panels, automated equipment, process instrumentation, and HVAC pneumatic control lines where a compact directional change is needed at a male NPT port. The extended male thread configuration provides added reach for recessed or blocked port locations. The 23 degrees F minimum to 140 degrees F maximum working temperature range makes it suitable for both indoor and light-duty outdoor pneumatic applications in moderate climate conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid transfer systems using 5/16-inch OD tubing and 3/8-inch NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pneumatic system technicians or maintenance professionals. Depressurize and lock out the system before replacing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the NPT male thread into the port, then apply appropriate thread sealant tape per system requirements, and tighten to the fitting and port manufacturer specifications. Insert tubing fully into the push-to-connect collet until seated, and verify retention by pulling back on the tube before repressurizing.
