This SMC KQ2V male universal elbow is a PBT and brass tube fitting for connecting a female thread to a tube running in any direction at a 90-degree angle. It has male Uni threads with a gasket seal on one end and a push-to-connect metric tube connection on the other end. The branch end can rotate freely in any direction. The body is made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) C3604 brass for corrosion resistance, the threads are made of C3604 brass, and the tube seal is made of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) for resistance to oils and extreme temperatures. A hexagonal head allows tightening with a box wrench in confined spaces. The Uni threads are compatible with female British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT), British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP), National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT), and National Pipe Thread Taper Fine (NPTF) threads, and the fitting is sealed against a standard chamfer with an NBR laminated stainless steel 304 gasket. A chuck and collet provide secure retention of tubing, and the release button allows tubing to be removed with little force. The fitting can be used with nylon, soft nylon, polyurethane, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), and perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing. It has an operating pressure range of -14.5 to 145 pounds per square inch (psi) (-100 kPa to 1 MPa), an ambient temperature range of 23 to 140 degrees F (-5 to 60 degrees C), and a fluid temperature range of 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C). This PBT and brass tube fitting is Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, and can be used in a broad range of fluid power applications, including temperature control, compressed air equipment, medical instrumentation, and motor vehicle controls, among others.Specifications Connection thread Male Uni threads Thread material JIS C3604 brass
