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.
Steel is stronger and more durable than other metals. Zinc-plated steel has fair corrosion resistance and should be used primarily in dry environments. Aluminum is lighter in weight than other metals and has good corrosion resistance. Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

- Maximum Pressure: 230 psi @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: 0° to 212° F
Sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated, so air won’t leak from the line.
Manifolds distribute air to multiple lines.
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.

All ARO plugs are compatible with any of the ARO sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.

Push-to-connect sockets are easier to connect than sleeve-lock sockets. Connect by pushing the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.
Manifolds give you a centralized and mounted location for plugging in your air tool line.
Steel is stronger and more durable than other metals. Zinc-plated steel has fair corrosion resistance and should be used primarily in dry environments.Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Manifolds for Supplied-Air Respirators for Plant Air Lines
Divert compressed air from a single line to two respirators. Often used in plants with limited air sources, these manifolds allow two workers to share the same line. Shaped like a briefcase, they’re easy to tote around your facility—use them up to 300 ft. from an air source. The case is polypropylene, so it’s durable enough to hold up to wear and tear.
