Description

Manual
Manual sockets require manual retraction of sleeve to both connect and disconnect the plug.
  • low cost
  • positive locking mechanism
  • 65% more ball retention
  • precision leakproof seal
  • heavy steel sleeve
Automatic
Automatic sockets accept the plug by simple insertion without the need to retract the sleeve to connect.
  • one hand operation
  • one piece sleeve with rear crimp
  •  precision leakproof seal
  • long wearing pin type locking mechanism with greater plug
Safety
Sleeve is moved straight forward to lock and turn on the air. The sleeve is moved back by rotating first to the left then to the right.
  • 100% safety
  • connect and disconnect at zero pressure
  • plug is securely locked before air is turned on
  • downstream line is exhausted before plug is release
  • tested to 100,000 operations with no leakage
  • special lubrication eliminates dry breakaway
  • can be used as 3 way on-off valve without disconnecting

*** Do note that special request and MOQ are required for most parts.

Notes:

  1. Swivel Plugs – Eliminates hose twist on end drop applications such as blow guns, air tools, etc.
  2. Ball Check Plugs – Eliminates hose whip at disconnect by checking the rapid flow of downstream exhaust.
  3. Sockets with modified valves are recommended for use with valve core plugs. Suffix -D to socket part number
