$65.50
The SMC 10-KQ2U01-00A is a clean room specification inch-size one-touch fitting from the KQ2U series, configured as a straight union, sold in a pack of 10. Part number decoded: KQ2U = one-touch straight union, 01 = 1/8" tube OD (inch size), 00 = union configuration (same size both ends), A = standard specification. The straight union provides inline tube-to-tube connection without any threaded port, joining two tube ends in a straight line.
When do you need a straight union? Straight unions serve three primary purposes in clean room pneumatic systems: extending tube runs beyond a single tube length, repairing cut or damaged tubes without replacing the entire run, and creating disconnection points for equipment module removal during maintenance. The 1/8" tube size is the smallest standard inch-size tubing, used for pilot signals, small sensor airlines, and micro-actuator connections where minimal flow is required.
Sold in a pack of 10 for equipment builds and maintenance stock. For 90-degree direction change at the same tube size, the KQ2L01 union elbow provides angled routing. For tee junctions, KQ2T01 adds a third branch. For larger tube straight unions, KQ2U03 (3/16"), KQ2U05 (5/32"), KQ2U07 (1/4"), and larger are available. For metric tube unions, the KQ2U series covers 4mm through 16mm. For stainless steel construction, the KGH series replaces nickel-plated brass. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1.
