Grip-Lock Hose Couplings for Air

Also known as Bowes couplings, these consist of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect with a quarter twist. They can handle higher-pressures than twist-claw couplings, and have a lower profile to fit in cramped spaces. All of the grip-lock plugs are compatible with any of the grip-lock sockets, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.
Plugs have a spring-loaded locking sleeve to prevent accidental disconnection. The sleeve automatically locks into place when you connect the coupling. To disconnect, slide the locking sleeve back and twist the coupling apart.
Plugs and sockets with a barbed end insert into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Brass plugs and sockets are softer than other metal plugs and sockets, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance. Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of air before you disconnect the line.

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.
Brass couplings are softer than other metal couplings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance. Warning: There is no valve in these couplings. Stop the flow of air and water before you disconnect the line.
