Air Fittings
Push-in fittings, used to connect air hoses between pneumatic operated
items, are designed for quick and easy maintenance and repair. Sizes and
types of fittings vary for different applications. Threaded fittings adapt the
push-in fittings to connect pneumatically operated items. Main parts include
the release ring, locking ring, solid brass body and special rubber com-
pound O-ring. Damaged hoses can be repaired by splicing.
To Disconnect Hose:
• Push hose into fitting.
• Push release ring down against locking ring portion of the fitting
body.
• While holding the release ring down, pull hose away from fitting.
To Connect Hose:
• Push hose into fitting through the release ring and the O-ring, using a
slight twisting motion to seat firmly against the internal tube stop.
• Pull hose away from fitting to expand and set inner seal. Ensure
hose is properly retained in fitting.
NOTE:
When putting air hose back into fitting, be sure that
hose is cut as squarely as possible so that the hose will
evenly seal in the fitting. The cavity of the positive tub-
ing stop provides support to prevent leakage.
WARNING:
Do not remove air hoses from fittings while system is
pressurized. Serious personal injury may occur.
