3/4 air hose fittings

The most common air hose fittings are 1/4″ NPT with an industrial quick connect threaded on. In certain warehouses or industrial areas, where a higher CFM (cubic feet per minute) and PSI are required, 3/8″ male NPT with a quick disconnect will be more common.

What are the different air line fittings?

Is air hose measured by ID or OD?

Air hoses are measured by their internal diameter (ID), and come in standard sizes of ¼”, ⅜” or ½” or metric sizes of 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm. Since higher ID correlates to higher air capacity, selecting your ideal air hose diameter requires an understanding of the CFM needs of your air tools.

Are all air hose fittings the same size?

There are many different types of air fittings but most air tools use one of just a few types of connector. The main things to consider are the fitting type and the thread size. Common fixing types include ¼” BSP, ¼” PCL and 3/8” NPT.

How do I know what air hose fittings I have?

Most couplers look the same on the outside, so let's look at plugs first. ... Color-Coded Connections

Industrial (M-style) is red.
ARO (A-style) is green.
Automotive (T-style) is blue.
V-style is purple.

How do you measure an air hose fitting?

Using a ruler or vernier, measure across the outside diameter of a male or hose tailpiece thread or measure the inside diameter of a female thread.

What's the difference between industrial and automotive air fittings?

As you can see, Industrial style couplers have two striped going across the fitting, whereas the automotive style only has one. On the plug, the industrial style is slightly longer and different head than the automotive. Amflo also makes two Combo Couplers, one with a female end, and one with a male end.

What does ARO stand for in air fittings?

One thick stripe and one thin stripe on body of fitting. Semi-Automatic. Semi-Universal Interchange Profile (ARO, Automotive, Industrial) not applicable. Three thin stripes on body of fitting.

What is a universal air coupler?

Universal hose couplings, also known as Chicago and air hose couplings, have an identical claw-style head that allows you to connect to another Chicago hose coupling, regardless of the pipe size or barbed hose ID.

What is the OD of 3/4 air hose?

Sub Brand	:	Maxecon™
Type	:	General Purpose
Inside Diameter	:	3/4 IN
Outside Diameter	:	1.15 IN
Length	:	700 FT

Do I want 3/8 or 1/4 air hose?

Many people choose 1/4-inch hose because it's lighter than the 3/8-inch variety. It's easier to roll up, carry around and store. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the price tag for 1/4-inch hose is lower than its 3/8-inch counterpart. A wider inside diameter, however, can also have benefits.

Which is better hybrid or rubber air hose?

Hybrid air hose Rubber is more flexible and weighs more, which makes it lay on the ground better and is less likely to be tripped over. PVC is lighter, stiffer (especially in cold weather), and thus more abrasion resistant. It is also easier to yank around than rubber hose.

Are air hose fittings universal?

Air compressor hoses are universal in their use of connecting the air compressor and tools. While hoses are universal in use, there are other variables to consider when shopping for an air compressor hose. Different applications and different tools may require different styles and types of compressor air hoses.

Can you use jubilee clips on airlines?

Thanks to their innovative screw worm mechanism, Jubilee clips are an adjustable, durable airline accessory capable of gripping hoses and strengthening connections, and you'll find a range of Jubilee hose clips available from Ace Compressors.

What size is a quick connect fitting?

Size: another question that is often asked is what size of quick connect fittings does a person need? The most common size fitting is ¼ inch. This is true for both ¼ and 3/8 inch air hose. Most 3/8 air hose comes with ¼ inch ends on it, thus most use a ¼ inch air fitting.

How do I choose a pneumatic fitting?

The following should be considered in choosing the correct fitting type: working pressure. working temperature - increasing temperature will reduce the operating pressure of nylon and polyurethane tubing. working environment - both possible contaminants and ease of access for construction and maintenance.

Does air hose size matter?

To select for the right hose length, be sure to know the total distance between the point of use (in the main system) and the work area where the pneumatic tool will be used. The greater the distance between the pneumatic tool and the air compressor, the greater the loss of air pressure.

What are the different sizes of air compressor fittings?

Most standard air compressors require a plug with a 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch flow size, with the latter being more common. Just like couplers, plugs come in automotive, industrial, ARO and V-style designs.

Should I use Teflon tape on air fittings?

You can just thread your air fitting on your air hose and it will work fine but it'll probably leak.

How do I know my fitting size?

Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:

Wrap a string around the pipe.
Mark the point where the string touches together.
Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference)
Divide the circumference by 3.14159.
