SMC KQ2 Series Pneumatic Fitting, 1Mpa Maximum Operating Pressure, Electroless Nickel Plated Finish - KQ2L04-06A


This pneumatic fitting is a reducer elbow designed to connect differing tube sizes in compressed‑air installations. It is intended for industrial automation and mechanical environments where a Compact change‑of‑direction connector is required, offering a corrosion‑resistant finish and a polymer construction suited to moderate temperature pneumatic systems.

Features and Benefits:


• Electroless nickel‑plated finish extends surface corrosion resistance
• Polybutylene terephthalate body reduces weight and resists wear
• Rated for 1 MPa maximum operating pressure for pressurised systems
• Operational temperature range from -5°C to 60°C for varied environments
• Push‑to‑connect design enables Rapid tube installation and removal

Applications


• Suitable for pneumatic routing in factory automation systems
• Ideal for control cabinets requiring Compact change‑of‑direction fittings
• Used with pneumatic actuators in electrical panel assemblies
• Can be used for compressed‑air distribution in mechanical workshops

What material properties affect chemical resistance in service?


The polymer construction offers good resistance to oils and many common lubricants used in pneumatic circuits while remaining dimensionally stable under load.

How does the finish influence maintenance cycles?


The metal plating reduces surface oxidation, lowering the need for frequent cleaning in humid or mildly corrosive atmospheres.

Is the fitting compatible with high‑pressure industrial compressors?


It is suitable for systems whose working pressure does not exceed 1 MPa

pressures above this require alternative components rated for higher stress.

What temperature limitations should be considered for installation?


The fitting maintains mechanical integrity within the -5°C to 60°C range, so it should not be used in applications exceeding these thermal bounds.

Does the connector support Rapid assembly on site?


The push‑to‑connect mechanism allows quick tube insertion and disconnection, reducing installation time in repetitive assembly tasks.
