Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Water
A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug.
Aluminum couplings are lighter in weight than brass plugs and sockets. They have good abrasion and corrosion resistance thanks to their anodized finish. Brass couplings are softer than aluminum plugs and sockets, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Coolant
Also known as coolant-line mold couplings, these couplings are often used to install and remove coolant lines in molding and die casting applications. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them when you need frequent access to a line. All of the quick-disconnect coolant plugs are compatible with any of the quick-disconnect coolant sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.
Open-flow plugs and sockets do not have a shut-off valve, so the couplings allow for maximum flow. Sockets are sleeve-lock style. To connect, slide back the sleeve on the socket, insert the plug, and release the sleeve. To disconnect, slide back the sleeve and pull out the plug.
Sockets with a barbed end insert into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Brass plugs and sockets have better corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel, and are softer, so they’re easier to thread together.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
Warning: For open-flow plugs and sockets, stop the flow of coolant before you disconnect the line.

Quick-Disconnect Tube Couplings for Chemicals
Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug. Plugs and sockets are polypropylene, which has excellent chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance.
Plugs and sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated so fluid won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.
- For Use With: Ammonia, Ethanol, Phosphoric Acid (70%), Sodium Carbonate
- Temperature Range: 32° to 160° F
Barbed plugs insert into tubing and secure with a clamp.

Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug. They’re made of FDA-approved materials, including moisture-resistant plastic that won’t absorb liquid and lose strength, even in high-humidity food and beverage applications.
Plugs and sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated, so fluid won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.
Barbed plugs insert into tubing and secure with a clamp.

High-Pressure Quick-Disconnect Tube Couplings for Air
Not only are these chrome-plated brass couplings corrosion resistant, they’re also durable enough to handle pressures up to 250 psi and can be used with vacuum. Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug.
Plugs and sockets with open flow control give you higher flow rates than those with shut-off flow control. They also minimize pressure drops across the connection. For the best flow rates, pair an open flow plug with an open flow socket. Plugs and sockets with shut-off flow control have a valve that stops air from leaking out when you detach the coupling.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.
- Temperature Range: -40° to 180° F
- Tubing: Use with soft or firm (Durometer 70A-80A) polyurethane rubber
Barbed couplings tightly grip your tube or hose for a secure hold.
