Description

Quick-Connect Coupling With Barbed Tailpiece for 5/16" Hose

Overview

This quick-connect coupling is engineered for pneumatic and fluid line applications requiring fast, leak-resistant connections. The design combines a protective blue ribbed sleeve with a metal collar body and a multi-ridged barbed tailpiece that grips 5/16" hose securely without additional clamps. The hex-shaped quick-disconnect interface allows tool-free coupling and uncoupling, making it essential for workshop efficiency.

If your operation requires different hose sizes, complementary solutions include quick couplings for 3/8" hose and quick couplings for 1/2" hose to standardize your fluid system connections across multiple tool configurations.

Key Features

  • 5/16" Barbed Tailpiece: Multi-ridge design prevents hose slippage under pressure without need for hose clamps
  • Quick-Disconnect Interface: Hexagonal cavity design enables rapid connection and disconnection by hand
  • Protective Rubber Sleeve: Blue ribbed covering shields the quick-connect mechanism from impact and contamination
  • Metal Body Construction: Black collar with reinforced hex nut ensures durability under repeated use
  • Nickel-Plated Finish: Barbed tailpiece features corrosion-resistant plating for extended service life
  • Through-Port Design: Hollow barbed stem allows unobstructed air or fluid passage

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turn-Rate Item: Quick couplings are consumable-adjacent accessories with predictable replacement demand
  • Universal Application: Pneumatic shops, automotive facilities, and industrial maintenance teams stock these consistently
  • Compact Footprint: Minimal shelf space required relative to sales volume
  • Margin Friendly: Strong wholesale margins on small, high-velocity components
  • Bundle Potential: Pair with hose spools, clamp kits, or pneumatic tool sets to increase transaction value
