SMC KQ2 Series Pneumatic Fitting, 6mm Connection size A, R 1/8 inches Connection size B - KQ2K06-03AS

This pneumatic fitting is a 45° male elbow designed to connect a 6mm push-in tube to a tapered R thread for use in pneumatic systems. It provides a Compact change of direction within fluid power and automation circuits while accepting a range of polymer tubing types. The component is suited to installations where a robust metallic connection is required alongside quick tube engagement.

Features and Benefits:

• Electroless nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability
• Accepts FEP, PFA, nylon and polyurethane tubes for versatile tubing compatibility
• Rated for operation from -5 to 60°C to cover varied ambient conditions
• Withstands up to 10 bar for higher-pressure pneumatic circuits
• R 1/8 male thread for tapered pipe connections in process lines

Applications

• Suitable for automated valve manifolds requiring Compact direction changes
• Ideal for pneumatic control panels in industrial equipment
• Used with polymer tubing in pick-and-place and robotics systems
• Can be used for compressed Air distribution in test rigs
• Used for field retrofits where metallic threaded connections are needed

Which tube materials does it accept and why is that useful?

It accepts FEP, PFA, nylon and polyurethane tubes, allowing selection of tubing based on chemical compatibility, flexibility and abrasion resistance for different process requirements.

How does the threaded connection behave under pressure?

The tapered R thread provides a sealing Interface for male pipe threads that maintains integrity up to the stated operating pressure when correctly installed with an appropriate sealant or tape.

What environmental temperatures can it tolerate and how does that affect sealing?

It is rated from -5 to 60°C

Seals and tube selection should be chosen to remain pliable across that range to preserve leak-free joints.

What materials make up the body and what benefit does that deliver in industrial settings?

The body is brass with an electroless nickel plating, delivering a metal-to-metal connection with enhanced surface hardness and resistance to tarnishing in industrial atmospheres.
