Why this plug
- Free swivel under pressure — which means the plug rotates freely to eliminate hose twist on blow guns, air tools, and end-drop applications.
- Brass/Steel construction — which means it withstands repeated high-pressure cycling without deforming.
- One-Way Shut-Off — which means the socket seals the supply line the instant the plug is removed, holding pressure and preventing blow-down.
Snap it on and the connection just holds — clean airflow, no drips, no hiss. Built to take daily shop abuse and keep sealing leak-free, connection after connection.
Frequently asked questions
What does this connect to?
It mates with any 1/4"-body industrial-interchange coupler (ISO 6150-B / ANSI T3.20.14), the most common air-coupler standard in North America.
What pressure and temperature is it rated for?
300 PSIG working pressure (vacuum to 27" Hg connected), with a Buna-N (Nitrile) seal rated -40°F to +250°F.
How does the swivel help?
The plug swivels freely even under pressure, so the hose will not kink or twist on blow guns and air tools.
Ideal for shop air lines, pneumatic tools, and production equipment. Pair this plug with a matching 1/4" 3 Series coupler for a complete, leak-free connection.
