Smc Pneumatics KQ2W11-37AS Push-to-connect Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS KQ2W11-37AS is a push-to-connect tube fitting in an extended male elbow configuration, designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Built from brass with a polybutylene tube collet, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects to 1/2 inch NPT threaded ports. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 145 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of compressed air and compatible fluid lines. Technicians in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical systems work use this fitting to route tubing around obstacles or change direction at a threaded port without additional adapters.

This extended male elbow fitting is well suited for pneumatic control systems, compressed air distribution lines, and inline plumbing connections where a 90-degree direction change is required at an NPT port. The extended male thread configuration provides additional clearance when fitting into recessed or tight manifold ports. Compatible with 3/8 inch OD polybutylene or similarly rated flexible tubing. Operating temperature range is 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F, which covers standard indoor industrial and mechanical room environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Extended male elbow body routes tubing at 90 degrees from a threaded port
• 3/8 inch OD tube compatibility with 1/2 inch NPT male thread
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass body construction for durability and corrosion resistance in pneumatic service
• Operating range of 23 degrees F to 140 degrees F suits most indoor mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing in systems with 1/2 inch NPT threaded ports, typical of pneumatic control circuits and compressed air distribution assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed pipefitters, pneumatic system technicians, or qualified mechanical trades. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any pneumatic fittings. Ensure the NPT threads are clean and apply appropriate thread sealant per system requirements before torquing the fitting into the port. When inserting tubing, push firmly until the tube bottoms out in the fitting body; to release, depress the collet release ring and pull the tube straight out.
