1/4" MNPT x 3/8" Quick Connect Elbow

The 1/4" MNPT x 3/8" Quick Connect Elbow is a high-quality, one-touch fitting from the SMC KQ2 series, a trusted name in pneumatic components. This compact and versatile elbow is engineered to provide a secure and angled connection between a threaded port and a tube.

One end of the fitting features a 1/4" Male NPT thread for a standard pipe connection. The thread portion is made of brass and comes with a sealant for a reliable, leak-proof seal. The other end has a push-to-connect port that accepts 3/8" O.D. tubing. The body of the push-to-connect end is made from PBT resin, a durable and lightweight material. The specially designed release collar simplifies the process of removing the tubing, allowing for a low disconnection force and preventing tube damage.

This elbow is designed for a variety of applications and is suitable for both positive pressure and vacuum systems. It can handle a maximum operating pressure of 145 PSI (1.0 MPa) and operates within a temperature range of 41°F to 140°F. It is compatible with both nylon and polyurethane tubing.

The P-AIR-2171 is a critical component used in many car wash applications, including the Timed Auto Drain Kit and the Champion Air Compressor drainage system, where a reliable and durable connection is essential for preventing leaks and ensuring system integrity.
