Plugin-nipples | Airpress
With the help of plug-in connectors, also known as plug fittings, you can quickly and easily connect an air hose to a compressor, compressed air system, or pneumatic tool. The plug connectors are available in Euro and Orion versions, featuring internal threads, external threads, or hose connections. Plug-in nipples ensure 100% airflow efficiency, allowing compressed air to pass through without any loss.
Application of Threaded Plug Fittings
If you plan to connect your compressor to a pneumatic impact wrench, one of the most commonly used solutions is a set of plug fittings combined with an air hose. There are numerous possible connection types, allowing you to integrate various pneumatic tools, including drills, impact wrenches, spray guns, tire inflators, and air blow guns. With our connectors, you can quickly and securely attach the fitting to the air hose. The plugs are available in the Euro or Orion system.
Airpress Safety Quick Couplings
Safety quick couplings are designed to ensure safe operation and meet workplace safety standards. Thanks to their two-stage release mechanism, they eliminate the risk of hose recoil upon disconnection. In the first stage, the coupling is depressurized, allowing it to be safely disconnected in the second stage. Safety quick couplings are highly recommended for workplaces where pneumatic accessories are frequently connected and disconnected, significantly reducing the risk of injuries caused by hose recoil.
Plug Fittings in Euro and Orion Systems
Plug fittings are available in both Euro and Orion systems with options for internal and external threads, as well as hose fittings. For threaded connections, you can choose from thread sizes: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". To achieve the best airtight connection, we recommend using Airpress thread sealants.
Hose plug fittings are designed for quick connections by simply sliding the pneumatic hose onto the fitting. Using hose clamps, you can create a secure and airtight connection. The clamps are easy to remove, allowing for quick detachment of the air hose from the plug fitting. These fittings are available in sizes 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm.
Difference Between Euro and Orion Systems
When selecting the right plug fitting, it's essential to consider the type of connection. Apart from thread size or hose fitting, choosing between the Euro or Orion system is crucial. Euro couplings are wider and offer a higher airflow rate per minute compared to Orion couplings. The Euro profile measures 7.2 mm, while the Orion type is 6 mm.
Euro and Orion systems are not directly compatible without a special adapter or a universal connection. In general, if you use Euro quick couplings, you should also use Euro plug fittings, and similarly, if you have Orion quick couplings, you need Orion plug fittings.
