Description

Quick Connector 3/8-Inch GW Female Thread, Nickel-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

This 3/8-inch GW quick-connect fitting delivers reliable, leak-free coupling for pneumatic lines, air tools, and fluid transfer systems. The nickel-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding shop environments. The hexagonal female-threaded body accepts standard 3/8-inch pipe connections, while the barbed plug end integrates seamlessly into your existing connector network. Stock this alongside 1/2-inch quick-connect couplings and 1/4-inch threaded alternatives to cover the full range of compressed air applications your customers depend on.

Key Features

  • 3/8-inch GW female thread – Direct compatibility with standard pneumatic fittings and hose adapters
  • Barbed plug design – Dual circumferential grooves ensure secure, positive lock with mating couplers
  • Nickel-plated finish – Corrosion-resistant coating resists oxidation and extends service life in workshop and outdoor conditions
  • Hexagonal body – Wrench flats allow secure hand-tightening or installation with standard sockets
  • Compact profile – Space-efficient design fits tight mounting arrangements without sacrificing functionality

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-velocity application fit – 3/8-inch is the industry standard for mid-range pneumatic systems; expect consistent demand from automotive shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial users
  • Repeatable margin opportunity – Quick connectors are wear items requiring periodic replacement; build recurring revenue by positioning as essential maintenance stock
  • Complete system enabler – Pair with hoses, adapters, and tools to create bundled solutions and increase transaction value per customer visit
  • Low storage footprint – Metal fittings are durable and stackable; minimal inventory space required for significant stock depth
  • Cross-sell ready – Customers who buy one size often need multiple sizes for different compressed air circuits; recommend complementary 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch variants to boost order value
