Industrial Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Air
A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately or in a set) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. They are also known as industrial interchange couplings. All Industrial plugs are compatible with any of the Industrial sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.
Brass is softer than other metals, so it’s easier to thread together. It has good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance, so it’s the best choice for high-humidity environments.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

- Maximum Pressure: 300 psi @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: -40° to 225° F
- Specifications Met: See table
Sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated, so air won’t leak from the line.
Push-to-connect sockets join by forcefully pushing the plug and socket together until you hear a click. Unlike sleeve-lock sockets, you should not slide back the sleeve to connect. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.

Sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated, so air won’t leak from the line.
Plugs and sockets with a clamp-on/crimp-on barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp or a crimp-on hose ferrule.
Push-to-connect sockets join by forcefully pushing the plug and socket together until you hear a click. Unlike sleeve-lock sockets, you should not slide back the sleeve to connect. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.

A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately or in a set) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. All Tru-Flate plugs are compatible with any of the Tru-Flate sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID. They are also known as automotive couplings.

Zinc-plated steel is stronger and more durable than other metals. It has fair corrosion resistance, so it should be used primarily in dry environments. NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Metal Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with the appropriate clamp or crimp-on hose ferrule.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. Plain brass fittings have good corrosion resistance.Stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel fittings won’t rust when exposed to water, making them good for areas that require frequent cleanings. 303/304 stainless steel fittings also stand up to wet and high-humidity environments.
Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
Hose connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose.
Through-wall straight connectors are also known as bulkhead couplings and panel-mount couplings. They mount through your wall or panel to create an inlet or outlet.

Screw-On Hose Fittings for D.O.T. Hose
Create or repair D.O.T. hose assemblies in the field with just a wrench and a vise, no crimper required. To install, separate the two pieces of these fittings. Screw the hose-end portion onto your hose, then thread the nipple portion into the hose-end portion. When assembled, these fittings compress against the hose to form a strong seal. Also known as reusable fittings, they can be unscrewed from your hose and used on a new one. All meet labeling and performance requirements for motor vehicle brake hose fittings.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

- Specifications Met: ISO 8434, SAE J514, except fittings with BSPP and BSPT threads meet SAE J514 only
Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on tubing that is flared to 37°. They withstand high pressure, so they’re often used in hydraulic applications. Made from 316 stainless steel, they resist corrosion from water and chemicals. A complete fitting requires a nut and a sleeve (ferrule) for each tube end. Nuts and sleeves are sold separately.
