Rotary one-touch fitting series KS comes with a ball race bearing for oscillating or rotating applications. KS series comes in 5 tube sizes ranging from 4 to 12mm. One touch collet includes anti tube rotation mechanism. KS is suitable for copper free applications.

Following industry requests for a range of lightweight, grease free, high performance metal fittings, our R&D engineers have simply taken their popular KQG/KFG and KQB metal fittings ranges, added some missing options, and made them even smaller, lighter and stronger. Designed for applications where heat, corrosion and chemical resistance is a necessity, our new KQG2 Series of stainless steel 316 one-touch fittings are now up to 30% smaller and 62% lighter than the previous models and with 8 new options we now have 17 models in total. And, with the addition of two new tube sizes these fittings can be used with a variety of tube diameters from 3.2mm up to 16mm. Series KFG2, our stainless steel 316 insert type fitting, has also been increased from 5 to 9 model options and they are also up to 44% smaller and 37% lighter than the old KFG range. Now available with NPT threads and the addition of a 16mm tube size, these fitting can operate at temperatures from -65ºC to 260ºC when selected without a sealing thread agent. And, with sleeveless sealing, easier maintenance is ensured. Finally completing our metal fitting range is our brass option, Series KQB2. Similarly up to 30% smaller and 62% lighter than previous models, this range has been extended from 9 to 17 models with both NPT and G thread options. And, with electroless nickel plating applied to all brass parts these fitting will still continue to look good throughout their entire lifetime.

SMC's popular one touch technology has been incorporated into this series where all the wetted metal parts are made from stainless steel. This fitting is suitable for use in CRT production for example where the use of copper must be avoided. Other applications include wash down or other environments that could corrode normal fittings. KG can be used for vacuum –100 kPa and pressures up to 1 MPa (~150 PSI). This fitting is available in 27 different body styles, with connection sizes from M5 to ½ R(PT), and tube sizes from 4mm OD to 12 mm OD.

Rotary one-touch fitting series KX comes with double ball race bearing for high speed applications. KX series comes in 5 tube sizes ranging from 4 to 12mm. One touch collet includes anti tube rotation mechanism. KX is suitable for pressure or vacuum applications.

Series KP are one-touch fittings for clean room blow-off systems and drive air systems. The KP series is completely oil free and liquid-contact areas are non-metallic. Parts are cleaned, assembled and double packaged in a clean room. Resin parts for one-touch series KPQ/KPG (for drive system air piping) are polypropylene.

Antistatic One-touch fittings series KA has one-touch loading and unloading. Series KA can be used in copper- free applications and in vacuum (max. -100kPa). Conductive resin is used for body and seals in fittings and tubing. Series KA is flame resistant (UL94 standard, V-0).

Flame resistant, one-touch fitting series KR can be used for a wide range of pressures from a low vacuum up to a pressure of 145 PSI. The use of a special profile ensures positive sealing and reduced resistance when the tube is being inserted. KR fittings are effective when piping in a confined space. The body and threaded portion can turn.

Self-seal fitting series KC is best for multiple use areas when pressure cannot be shut down. One- touch fittings (with built-in self-seal mechanism) are used to prevent air exhaust when removing tube. There are 10 styles available including electroless nickel plated for copper-free applications.

• Threads: G(PF)
• Accepts nylon, soft nylon and polyurethane tubes
• Stud allows rotation of the body for ease of installation in confined spaces
• Release collar allows easy removal of tubing without damaging the tube
• Superior packing design offers positive sealing and reduced resistance upon
  insertion of tubing
• Can be used for a wide range of pressures from a low vacuum up to a pressure
  of 1.0MPa

Series KFG2 fittings can operate with ambient operating fluid temperatures of -65 to 260ºC (swivel elbow type -5 to 150ºC).  With their stainless steel 316 construction and unique non-rubber seal insert connection, these grease-free fittings offer high levels of corrosion resistance, and can be used with numerous piping materials including FEP, PFS, soft and regular nylon, polyurethane and polyoelfin.  Available in male elbow, male connector, male branch tee, straight union, union tee, bulkhead union, union elbow, swivel elbow and female connector options, the KFG2 fittings can accommodate tube sizes from 4mm to 16mm and 1/8" to 1/2" with port sized thread connections from R1/8 to R1/2 and 1/8NPT to 1/2NPT.

KF insert fittings are suitable for use with nylon, soft nylon and polyurethane types of tubing. The insert mechanism provides reliable retaining force on both sides of the tube (inside and outside). The KF series can used for a wide range of pressures from vacuum up to a pressure of 1.0MPa.

Series M and MS miniature fittings are for use with air connections in confined areas. The hose nipple and hose elbow styles accept nylon, soft nylon and polyurethane tubing. The body of the MS series is stainless steel, making it possible to use this fitting in corrosive applications.

Self align fittings series H, DL, L, LL has ten styles and five tube O.D's providing a wide range of fittings that will fit any application. Flared ridge ferrule prevents accidental loss of ferrule when inserting tubing into the fitting body. Hardened ridge ferrule prevents breakage of ferrule when tightening nut. Flared I.D. provides low flow resistance inside the fitting. The tube holding mechanism gives the strong feeling when inserting tube, and prevents tube from sliding when screwing in the tube.

SMC high purity HYPER FITTING series LQ* responds to the latest demands in process control. From parts cleaning to assembly and packaging, all processes are controlled for cleanliness, and the use of new PFA virtually eliminates particle generation and TOC (total organic carbon) allowing confident use for the most demanding applications. If chemistries or flow requirements are changed duing process, our face seal design allows for quick change of tubing, and/or tube diameters, using the same fitting body.

Following automotive industry requests for an ATEX approved, air operated valve for use with either water or chemical based products, SMC - the world leaders in pneumatic technology - are pleased to launch their new Series VCC valve range.With their lightweight resin body manifold construction this new valve range has been designed for both ease of maintenance and cleaning. Using a simple one-touch fittings and a clip system it is possible to add or remove a valve without the need to replace the piping and thanks to its improved sealing, residual liquid inside the valve is reduced accordingly. Additional benefits of this improved sealing have also shown in impressive valve performance of up to 5 million cycles when used with paint and 10 million cycles for air. Fully ATEX compliant, Series VCC valves are ideal for applications that require the separation of fluids such as paint and cleaner or pilot air and main fluid.Designed for use with SMC´s stainless steel fittings range Series VCK, which includes straight, 40º swivel elbow and 90º swivel elbow type fitting options, this valve and fitting combination ensures that excellent space saving can be achieved.
