SMC Brass/Plastic MPT Threaded Elbow 3/8'' Tube to 1/4'' MPT

SMC KQ2 Series Brass/Plastic MPT Threaded Elbow - Professional One-Touch Connection Solutions for Reliable Pneumatic and Fluid Systems

Superior Brass/Plastic Hybrid Construction SMC delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength through precision-engineered brass/plastic construction. Professional-grade materials combine the durability of brass threading with lightweight plastic components, ensuring reliable performance in demanding pneumatic and hydraulic applications while reducing system weight.

Advanced One-Touch Connection Technology High-performance one-touch connection system provides instant tube insertion and secure retention without tools or threading operations. Engineered quick-connect mechanism reduces installation time by up to 80% while ensuring leak-free connections that maintain system integrity under full operating pressure.

Versatile 3/8" Tube to 1/4" MPT Configuration Professional elbow design connects 3/8" tubing directly to 1/4" NPT threaded ports, eliminating multiple adapters and reducing leak points. Precision-engineered 90-degree configuration optimizes space utilization in compact installations while maintaining full flow characteristics.

Wide Operating Temperature Range Industrial-grade construction operates reliably from -5°C to 60°C, accommodating diverse environmental conditions across manufacturing, automation, and process applications. Temperature-resistant materials maintain sealing integrity and connection strength throughout extreme operating conditions.

High-Pressure Performance Capability Superior engineering delivers 1.0 MPa maximum operating pressure with 3.0 MPa proof pressure rating, ensuring reliable performance in demanding pneumatic and hydraulic systems. High-pressure capability supports critical applications requiring consistent system pressure and leak-free operation.

Dual Fluid Compatibility Versatile design accommodates both air and water applications, providing flexibility across pneumatic automation and fluid handling systems. Chemical-resistant materials ensure consistent performance with various operating fluids while maintaining connection integrity over extended service life.

Enhanced Visual Identification Distinctive orange and white color coding enables rapid system identification and maintenance efficiency in complex installations. Color-coded design prevents incorrect connections while enhancing safety compliance and system organization standards.
