Description

Quick Connect Coupling With Male Thread 1/2" – OF40/SM Standard

Brief Overview

This 1/2" quick-connect coupling is engineered for pneumatic and fluid transfer applications where reliable, leak-free connections are essential. The male thread design allows direct integration into hose assemblies, manifolds, and system components. The zinc-plated hexagonal connector ensures durability and corrosion resistance in workshop and industrial environments. For shop operations requiring multiple thread sizes, consider pairing this with smaller 3/8" male threaded couplings or 1/2" female threaded options to build a comprehensive quick-connect system.

Key Features

  • 1/2" Male Thread Design – Direct threaded connection for hoses, adapters, and manifold integration
  • Zinc-Plated Hexagonal Connector – Corrosion-resistant metal body with hex flats for wrench grip and secure installation
  • Protective Blue Rubber Sleeve – Ribbed design guides connection and protects internal components from contamination
  • Black Coated Steel Mid-Body – Durable central section with printed identification for easy system tracking
  • OF40/SM Compliance – Meets European pneumatic coupling standards for consistent performance across equipment

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Essential System Component: Quick-connect couplings are wear-resistant and required for every pneumatic system overhaul. This 1/2" size covers the majority of industrial and workshop applications, making it a high-turnover SKU.
  • Competitive Margin: Simple, proven design with minimal defect rates translates to fewer returns and strong profit per unit.
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Stock multiple thread sizes (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") to capture full system upgrades and encourage basket-building purchases from your end customers.
  • Professional Application Scope: Automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and pneumatic tool distributors rely on these for routine maintenance and custom assemblies.
