FAQs

What does 'PCL type' mean for the quick release?

PCL type refers to a specific standard for quick-release air couplings, ensuring compatibility with other fittings designed to the same standard.

Can I use this fitting on a water hose?

This fitting is designed for compressed air applications and may not be suitable or safe for use with water hoses, especially under pressure.

What is the total length of the fitting?

The total length of the fitting is approximately 60mm.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

Basic tools like a screwdriver or pliers for tightening a hose clamp are generally sufficient for installation.

Is this fitting suitable for high-pressure applications?

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.

How many fittings are included in this pack?

Troubleshooting

Air leak at the barb connection

Ensure a hose clamp is used and tightened securely around the barb. Check that the hose is fully seated onto the barb.

Fitting won't connect to the coupler

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.

Rust or corrosion on the fitting

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Built with strong steel for durability.
  • Zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance.
  • Standard PCL fitting ensures wide compatibility.
  • Simple to attach to existing air hoses.
  • Comes in a convenient 2-pack.

Cons

  • Requires a separate hose clamp for secure attachment.
  • Specific barb size may not fit all hoses.
  • Primarily for male PCL type couplers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
