Air Quick Coupler are connectors or fittings used to mate fluid lines with equipment that requires repeated connections and disconnections. They are used in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications, and are designed for easy hand operation for use with fitting attachments primarily on mobile machinery.
Their design is simple: a male end—or plug—is inserted into a female end—or socket—to make a secure, leak-tight seal. They are sometimes called push-to-connect because connecting them requires only a quick push.
