Details

It is important to be safe when installing quick disconnect couplings into a pneumatic circuit. Never install a pneumatic coupling directly into an air tool, use a piece of hose that is at least 18" long, between the tool and the coupling, to prevent damage to the coupling. To protect the operator, safety devices, such as a safety check valve and safety cable should be installed in case there is a hose or coupling failure.
Note: Many competitive Universal couplings are unable to match the performance capabilities of the Dixon U-Series. Although the universal coupler permits multiple series nipples to mate with one coupler, it is recommended to match like series couplers and nipples. When using a universal coupler, the lower performance rating between the coupler and the nipple must take precedence.
Dry Air: Some pneumatic applications require the pressurized air to be 'dried' to ensure proper operation of equipment and/or application of product (ie. Auto body shops). It is best to match like series couplers and nipples in these applications. If it is necessary to use a Universal coupler, lube the seal and valve area regularly to ensure reliable service.
