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.
  • Push-on hose stem — which means a secure grip on push-on hose with no separate clamp required.
  • 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 plug (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.

Is this air coupler fuel-rated?
No — the 3 Series is an industrial air/fluid coupler for compressed air, water, and similar media; it is not rated for fuel.

Ideal for shop air lines, pneumatic tools, and production equipment. Pair this coupler with a matching 1/4" 3 Series plug for a complete, leak-free connection.
