Why this coupler
- Automatic push-to-connect — which means single-handed connection with no sleeve retraction, for faster cycle times.
- Sleeve Lock (SL) — which means the sleeve locks after connection to guard against accidental disconnect.
- Dill Valve — this coupler uses a Dill valve and is designed to pair with the 3 Series Dill valve plugs (10-3D, 10-3DB) for valve-core service.
- Brass construction — which means corrosion resistance and smooth, reliable operation.
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.
