A new series of one-touch stainless-steel fittings answers constantly increasing industry requests for fittings that offer better heat and chemical resistance.

With constantly increasing industry requests for fittings that offer better heat and chemical resistance, engineers from SMC Pneumatics have met the challenge with the launch of the Series KQG one-touch stainless-steel fittings.

With their all metal construction - body, guide and chuck - made of SS316 stainless steel, this comprehensive range of grease-free fittings can work with ambient and fluid temperatures from a bone chilling -5 up to a sweltering +150C.

What's more, due to their special FKM sealing material, they can even handle harsher environments such as hot steam.

Available in male connector, straight union, male elbow, union elbow, male branch thread, union T, union Y and bulk head union, these fittings are compatible with 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12mm outside-diameter tubings made from FEP, PFA, nylon, soft nylon, polyurethane or polyolefin materials.

With sealant coated threads as standard, including five thread size options, Series KQG one-touch fittings really are the hottest connectors around.
