Purpose and fit

The SMC KQ2H07-36AS is a push-fit adapter that joins 1/4 in. tubing to a 3/8 in. male NPT port. It suits pneumatic and non-potable water circuits where a quick, tool-free connection is preferred.

Build and connections

Brass construction resists corrosion in compressed-air lines. The pre-applied thread sealant on the MNPT end removes the need for tape or paste during installation. Push-to-connect on the tube side allows rapid assembly and disassembly for maintenance.

Pressure and temperature limits

Rated for 145 psi maximum operating pressure and 140 °F maximum operating temperature. Exceeding either value risks leakage or fitting failure. The fitting is not approved for potable-water systems.

Questions about this item

How does the 1/4 in. push-to-connect side seal against the tube?

The push-to-connect end grips the 1/4 in. tube outer diameter internally; no tools or separate ferrules are needed, and the seal is made by the internal collet and O-ring when the tube is fully inserted.

What clearance is required for the 3/8 in. MNPT thread and the overall length of 18 3/32 mm?

The male NPT thread needs a matching 3/8 in. female port; the installed fitting adds 18 3/32 mm from the port face to the tube-release sleeve, so allow that depth plus tube-insertion space.

The pre-applied thread sealant is already on the 3/8 in. MNPT threads — do I still need tape or paste?

No; the factory-applied sealant on the 3/8 in. MNPT threads is designed to seal without additional tape or paste — just thread the fitting into the female port to the proper engagement.
