This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with compressed air systems who need a reliable connection for their air hoses. The key benefit is its durable steel construction and PCL quick-release compatibility, ensuring a secure and efficient connection. A potential caveat is the need for a hose clamp for optimal performance. This product is a 2-piece set of quick-release fittings with a 3/8in (9.5mm) hose barb, designed for direct attachment to air hoses without existing fittings, suitable for most workshop compressed air applications.

PCL type refers to a specific standard for quick-release air couplings, ensuring compatibility with other fittings designed to the same standard.
This fitting is designed for compressed air applications and may not be suitable or safe for use with water hoses, especially under pressure.
The total length of the fitting is approximately 60mm.
Basic tools like a screwdriver or pliers for tightening a hose clamp are generally sufficient for installation.
The fitting is designed for typical workshop compressed air applications. Always ensure your air system's pressure does not exceed the safe operating limits of all components.
The total length of the barb itself is 20mm.
This pack includes two (2) quick-release fittings.
Ensure a hose clamp is used and tightened securely around the barb. Check that the hose is fully seated onto the barb.
Verify that you are connecting to a PCL type quick-release coupler. Ensure the coupler is not damaged or obstructed. Check that the fitting is clean.
Clean the fitting with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. The zinc plating offers protection, but prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust.
Setup: To install, slide the hose clamp onto your air hose first. Then, firmly push the 3/8in (9.5mm) barb end of the fitting into the end of the air hose. Secure the hose onto the barb using the hose clamp. Ensure the clamp is tightened sufficiently to create an airtight seal. The male PCL end is now ready to connect to your air source or tool.
Compatibility: This fitting is designed with a male PCL type quick-release connector, making it compatible with most standard PCL quick-release couplers found in workshop settings. The 3/8in (9.5mm) hose barb is suitable for air hoses with a corresponding internal diameter.
Care: To maintain the fitting, periodically wipe it clean with a dry cloth. Store in a dry environment to prevent excessive rust or corrosion. Check the connection periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
