Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does 'Pcl' stand for in the product name?
'Pcl' refers to the Parallel airflow design of the coupling.
What type of thread does this coupling use?
This coupling features a 1/4" female BSP parallel thread.
What is the maximum pressure this coupling can handle?
The maximum working pressure for this coupling is 13.8bar (200 psi).
What is the maximum airflow rate?
The maximum airflow rate is 1197L/min (42cfm) at 6.9bar (100 psi).
Can I use this with any air hose adaptor?
It is designed for use with standard adaptors, specifically those with a compatible male BSP parallel thread.
How does the single-action positive lock work?
The single-action mechanism allows for quick connection and disconnection by simply pushing and pulling the coupling or collar, ensuring a secure lock when engaged.
Is this coupling suitable for water or other liquids?
This coupling is designed and rated for use with compressed air systems only.
Troubleshooting
Coupling leaks air when connected.
Check the seal on the mating adaptor and ensure it is clean and undamaged. Verify the thread connection is secure and that the adaptor is compatible (BSP parallel).
Coupling is difficult to connect or disconnect.
Ensure both the coupling and the mating adaptor are clean and free of debris. Check for any visible damage or warping. The single-action mechanism might require a firm push and pull.
Airflow seems restricted.
Verify that the coupling and adaptor are fully engaged. Check the air hose and tool for any blockages. Ensure the pressure and flow rate are within the coupling's specifications (max 1197L/min at 6.9bar).
Pros and Cons
Pros
Secure and reliable connection with single-action positive lock.
High airflow rate suitable for various compressed air tools.
Standard 1/4" female thread for broad compatibility.
Durable build quality for frequent use.
Easy to connect and disconnect.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the mating adaptor has a compatible 1/4" male BSP parallel thread.
Screw the adaptor into the female thread of the coupling until snug. Hand-tighten is usually sufficient; avoid over-tightening.
Connect the air hose to the other end of the adaptor.
Connect the coupling to your air tool or equipment.
Compatibility:
This coupling is designed for use with standard adaptors.
It features a BSP parallel connection, intended for use with other BSP parallel threaded fittings and hoses.
Ideal for use with compressed air systems.
Care:
Regularly inspect the coupling for any signs of damage, wear, or debris.
Clean the coupling with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid using solvents.
Ensure connections are clean before mating to prevent leaks or damage.
