Description

Quick Connector GW 1/2-Inch Female Thread, Brass

Brief Overview

This brass quick-connector coupling is engineered for pneumatic and fluid line applications requiring secure, rapid connection and disconnection. The GW (female thread) configuration accepts male-threaded quick connectors, making it an essential component for compressed air systems, hydraulic applications, and industrial fluid transfer. Stock this alongside male thread quick couplings and smaller gauge brass connectors to provide your customers with complete coupling solutions across common thread sizes.

Key Features

  • Brass Construction: Yellow-brass body provides corrosion resistance and reliability in typical industrial environments
  • 1/2-Inch GW (Female) Thread: Standard female thread connection point compatible with 1/2-inch male quick connectors
  • Hexagonal Nut Design: Wrench-friendly hex nut enables firm grip and easy installation without slipping
  • Internal Sealing System: O-ring and metal retention ring ensure leak-free connections under operating pressure
  • Quick-Connect Sleeve: Grooved coupling body with multiple circumferential rings for positive engagement and secure locking
  • Precision Machining: Clean internal geometry and accurate thread profile for reliable mating with standard male connectors

Why This Product Matters

The 1/2-inch quick connector is the industry standard for medium-flow pneumatic and fluid applications. This brass version offers cost-effective reliability without premium pricing. The GW female thread configuration makes it ideal for systems where the male connector is fixed or stationary, allowing quick changes of hoses or sub-assemblies on the customer's end.

The internal O-ring and metal retention ring design ensures pressure-rated performance while preventing accidental disconnection. The hex nut design is particularly valuable in tight spaces or when using pneumatic tools—it provides a solid grip point without requiring specialized coupling tools.

Call to Action

Order in bulk to ensure consistent availability for your customer base. The 1/2-inch size is a high-velocity item in pneumatic shops and machine maintenance operations. Consider stocking multiple variations—brass GW (this product) and nickel-plated steel alternatives—to meet diverse customer preferences and budget requirements.
