PCL refers to a specific type of coupling system known for its positive lock and high airflow efficiency. The tapered design contributes to a secure fit and efficient air transfer.
The maximum working pressure for this coupling is 13.8bar (200 psi).
It is designed to connect to hoses or tools with a compatible 1/2" male thread and is intended for use with standard adaptors. Ensure your hose fittings are compatible with BSP parallel threads.
The maximum airflow rate is 1197L/min (42cfm) at 6.9bar (100 psi).
This coupling is specifically designed for compressed air applications and is not recommended for use with water or other liquids.
Ensure the threads are clean, undamaged, and fully engaged. Use compatible BSP parallel fittings and check for any signs of wear on the seals.
Ensure the male thread is fully seated and the mating female thread is clean and undamaged. Check that the adaptor used is compatible and creating a good seal.
Check for debris in the coupling mechanism or on the mating connector. Ensure both parts are aligned correctly before applying force. Do not force the connection; clean and re-attempt.
Verify that the coupling is fully engaged. Check for kinks or blockages in the hose. Ensure the mating adaptor is a high-flow type and not restricting air passage.
Setup: Screw the 1/2" male thread directly into a compatible female threaded port on your air hose or tool. Ensure threads are clean before connecting to prevent cross-threading.
Compatibility: This coupling is designed for use with standard adaptors and BSP parallel fittings. It is specifically intended for compressed air applications. Always ensure your air compressor and hoses are rated for the pressures involved.
Care: Periodically inspect the coupling for wear or damage. Keep the mating surfaces clean to ensure a proper seal. Avoid using lubricants not specifically approved for pneumatic systems, as some can degrade seals.
