6 mm and 8 mm nominal tube outside-diameter connections; Y-type branch

Ordering code

KQG2U06-08; unequal Y-type tube union

Effective area

13.4 mm² effective sectional area with FEP tube

Series operating envelope

KQG2 series: water listed; −100 kPa to 1 MPa operating range; −5 to 150 °C without freezing; SUS316 metal parts

Overview

This Y-form reducer combines a tube size transition with a three-port branch. The branch angle differs from the KQG2 T union and can affect routing in a confined equipment layout.

Construction and interfaces

The exact KQG2U06-08 row identifies nominal 6 mm and 8 mm tubing. The small official image depicts the Y layout; KQG2 series metal parts are listed as SUS316.

Selection

Mark the three-port assignment, two tube sizes and flow direction on a drawing. The visual branch angle alone does not establish an acceptable pressure drop or orientation for the system.

Configuration options

Other unequal pairs are separate KQG2U rows. Tube material, branch routing and any additional flow control must be selected against the actual cooling loop requirements.

Application limits

The FEP-conditioned effective area is a catalogue geometry value, not a flow rating. The low-resolution series picture does not certify the exact purchased size or fitted tubing.
