SMC KQ2 Fittings available from Scott Equipment Company

Video Transcript:

Hi, I am Steve Mathis, local account manager with Scott Equipment Company. Today I will be talking to you about SMC’s KQ2 fittings. One unique feature of KQ2 fittings is what SMC calls their unifit threads. Unifit threads allow you use one fitting for multiple different thread. This allows you to reduce your fitting inventory by using one fitting for multiple installations.

One thing to keep in mind if you have a small round body cylinder that does not have a flat face on your port, unifit threads may not seal as well as standard tapered threads.

Another unique feature is that KQ2 fittings can accept either metric or inch size tubing.

Why do SMC fittings have different color push buttons?

One of my favorite things with KQ2 fittings is that SMC color codes their push buttons. If you see an orange push button, that represents an inch style fitting. If you see a gray push button, that is a metric style fitting. This allows you to see from multiple feet away whether you are running inch or metric fittings on a particular machine.
