Why this coupler
- Manual pull sleeve — which means a positive, deliberate connection; retract the sleeve by hand to connect or release.
- Brass body with steel sleeve — which means corrosion resistance plus a hardened, long-wearing sleeve.
- Less Valve — which means an unrestricted, free-flow path with no internal shut-off valve for maximum flow.
Snap it on and the connection just holds — full 1/2" flow, no drips, no hiss. Built to take daily shop abuse and keep sealing leak-free, connection after connection.
Frequently asked questions
