Why Stock This Connector

The 1/4-inch GZ male thread is the workhorse of compact pneumatic setups—nail guns, brad nailers, impact drills, and mini grinders all rely on reliable coupling. Its small footprint and efficient air passage make it ideal for hand-tool applications where space is limited. The nickel plating prevents rust in damp workshops, and the internal check valve eliminates the frustration of backflow during tool swaps.

For your customers, this connector means faster equipment changes, fewer leaks, and longer service life for their air tools. For your business, it's a high-velocity SKU that drives repeat orders and justifies deeper inventory investment.

Stock recommendation: 25–50 units per product line to meet demand for system builds, replacements, and emergency repairs.
