Description

Quick Connect Coupling with Female Thread 1/4 Inch

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch female threaded quick-connect coupling is a workhorse component for pneumatic systems, fluid lines, and compressed air applications. The design prioritizes durability and ease of operation—two non-negotiable requirements in any professional shop. Whether you're assembling modular pneumatic tools or maintaining existing air distribution networks, this coupling provides a secure, repeatable connection point. Stock this alongside complementary options like larger female thread couplings to service a full range of system configurations.

Key Features

  • Female Thread Connection: 1/4-inch NPT (or PT) female thread for direct integration with male-threaded ports and adapters
  • Metal Construction: Nickel or chrome-plated steel or brass body—corrosion-resistant and rated for industrial use
  • Quick-Release Socket: Spring-loaded mechanism allows rapid connect/disconnect without tool requirement
  • Dual Knurled Grip Zones: Hand-friendly textured surfaces on either side of the central body for secure, confident operation
  • Recessed Sealing Lip: Integrated seal design minimizes spillage and maintains system integrity during coupling/uncoupling
  • Compact Profile: Straightforward cylindrical geometry fits tight installation spaces without bulky hardware

Business Advantages for Resellers

High Demand & Recurring Orders Quick-connect couplings are essential consumables in pneumatic shops. Once mechanics adopt a standardized thread size, they return regularly for replacements—whether due to wear, system expansion, or maintenance protocols.

Margin-Friendly Bulk Pricing These couplings have low per-unit cost at volume, allowing resellers to offer competitive pricing while maintaining healthy margins. Bundle them with 1/4-inch male thread adapters or larger sizes to create system packages that drive higher order values.

No Special Knowledge Required Installation is intuitive—hand-tighten the female thread onto a male port, and connect/disconnect using the quick-release mechanism. Your customers will handle it without technical support, reducing your overhead.

Standardization Opportunity Positioning this size as a "standard system component" in your shop recommendations encourages customers to think modularly and return for additional couplings and adapters across different tools and circuits.

Why This Matters

In pneumatic system design, reliability hinges on repeatable, secure connections. A female threaded coupling that resists corrosion, operates smoothly under hand pressure, and maintains consistent seal integrity is not a luxury—it's essential infrastructure. This 1/4-inch model fills the most common role in modular compressed air circuits, making it a must-stock item for any distributor serious about serving automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and pneumatic assembly operations.


Stock this coupling in volume. Your customers will return for them regularly—and when they do, recommend complementary sizes and configurations to grow your order value.
