6. Installation Guidelines

     • Cut tubing flat without burrs; fully insert tube until you hear the “click” sound.

     • The threaded end can rotate 360°, adjust direction freely after installation.

     • Type A with gasket can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled; Type S with thread glue cannot be reused.

7. Selection Guide

     • 45° for small cylinder → KQ2K04-M5A

     • Standard 45° elbow (first choice) → KQ2K06-01A

     • High flow 45° elbow → KQ2K08-02A

8. Application Scenarios

     • Compact pneumatic piping on small cylinders and miniature actuators

     • Automation tooling where 90° elbow causes interference, 45° routing saves space

     • Vacuum and positive pressure air circuits for pick-and-place equipment

     • Machine frame internal pneumatic layout with limited clearance
