Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these fittings compatible with standard household compressors?

Yes, provided your compressor uses a 1/4 inch BSP thread and the socket accepts the PCL Airflow (Rectus 19) profile.

What is the maximum pressure these can handle?

They are rated for a maximum operating pressure of 13.8 bar.

Do these come with thread sealant pre-applied?

No, you will need to apply your own PTFE tape or thread sealant to the BSP threads for an airtight seal.

Where are these fittings manufactured?

These genuine PCL fittings are manufactured in Sheffield, UK.

What does the 13mm hex signify?

The hex profile allows you to use a standard 13mm spanner or wrench to tighten the fitting securely into your pneumatic tool.

Can I use these for water or oil lines?

These are specifically designed and rated for compressed air systems. Use with other fluids is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Air leakage at the thread connection

Ensure thread sealant or PTFE tape was applied correctly; tighten slightly with a 13mm wrench.

Fitting does not click into the socket

Verify that the mating socket is a Rectus 19/PCL Airflow compatible type; check for debris inside the socket.

Reduced airflow to the tool

Check the hose for internal kinks and ensure the fitting is fully seated within the quick-release coupling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High airflow capacity for demanding tools
  • Durable zinc-plated steel construction
  • Manufactured to strict safety standards
  • Includes convenient 13mm hex for installation
  • Pack of 5 offers excellent value for shop upgrades

Cons

  • Requires thread sealant for air-tight connections
  • Only compatible with Rectus 19/PCL Airflow profiles
  • Limited to 1/4 inch BSP male thread connections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these fittings, use a 13mm wrench on the hex collar to tighten the male thread into your tool or hose coupling. It is highly recommended to apply a small amount of PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant to the BSP threads to prevent air leaks. As these are zinc-plated, they are resistant to rust, but you should still wipe them down occasionally to remove accumulated dirt or moisture. Always ensure the system is depressurized before removing or installing new fittings to prevent accidental hose whip. They are specifically designed for compatibility with Rectus 19 systems; check your existing quick-release sockets to ensure a proper mating profile.
