How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Twist-Claw Hose Couplings for Air and Water

Also known as Chicago and universal couplings, these have an identical claw-style head that allows you to connect to another Chicago twist-claw hose coupling, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID. To connect, push two couplings together with a quarter twist. Couplings have a safety clip and lanyard to prevent accidental disconnection.
Couplings with a barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Iron couplings are stronger and more durable than other metal couplings. Use in noncorrosive environments. Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of air and water before you disconnect the line.

- Maximum Pressure: 150 psi @ 72° F
- Maximum Vacuum: Not Rated
- Temperature Range: -20° to 160° F
- Attachment Type: Use Band-and-Buckle Clamps
- Compatible With: Dixon Air King Couplings
Spring-Lock Twist-Claw Hose Couplings for Air and Water

Prevent accidental disconnection with these couplings—they have a spring-loaded locking sleeve that automatically locks into place when you connect the coupling. Also known as Chicago and universal couplings, they have an identical claw-style head that allows you to connect to any other spring-lock twist-claw hose coupling. To connect, push two couplings together with a quarter twist. To disconnect, slide the locking sleeves back and twist the couplings apart. Couplings are iron, which is strong and durable. Use in noncorrosive environments.
Couplings with a barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of air and water before you disconnect the line.

- Maximum Pressure: 150 psi @ 72° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 29 in. of Hg @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: -20° to 160° F
- Attachment Type: Use Band-and-Buckle Clamps
- Compatible With: Dixon Air King Couplings
Interlocking-Clamp Hose Fittings for Steam

Also known as ground-joint couplings and boss couplings, these fittings are designed for high-pressure steam heating, humidification, and washdown applications. Insert the barbed end of the fitting into rubber hose, then position the interlocking clamp over the hose and bolt into place with a torque wrench. The clamp firmly grips the hose as it locks into the ring of the barbed end, creating a leak tight seal. The interlocking clamps are not reusable. Fittings are strong and durable with fair corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a female threaded end have a hex bushing (also known as a female spud) that connects to a male interlocking-clamp hose fitting. Replace the hex bushing with a hex nipple (sold separately) to connect two female fittings; the hex nipples are also known as double spuds.
Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of steam before you disconnect the hose line.
