Quick Connect Coupling With Tailpiece For 1/2-Inch Hose

Brief Overview

This quick-connect coupling combines a robust mating interface with an integrated barbed hose tail, eliminating the need for separate fittings. The blue protective boot shields the connection point from contamination and accidental engagement, while the chrome-plated barbed tail ensures secure hose attachment. Designed for 1/2-inch hose applications in pneumatic systems, this coupling provides a straightforward, field-proven solution for air line assembly and maintenance. If your operation requires multiple connection sizes, smaller hose tailpieces in 3/8-inch and 5/16-inch formats are also available to standardize your inventory across different tool requirements.

Key Features

• Integrated Barbed Tail: Three-ridge chrome-plated barb design provides positive hose grip without additional clamps
• Protective Boot: Ribbed blue rubber sleeve shields coupling from dust and prevents accidental connection
• Hex Wrench Surface: Integrated flats allow secure coupling tightening or removal with standard tools
• Black Metal Body: Matte finish coupling body resists corrosion in shop and field environments
• 1/2-Inch Connection: Sized for standard 1/2-inch hose applications in pneumatic systems
