Quick Release Plugs

A pneumatic quick release plug (male nipple) is a mating component designed for rapid, tool-free connection of air tools and pneumatic equipment to a compressed air line, coupling seamlessly with a matching female socket.

Our quick release nipples are categorized by their connection configurations on the opposite end:

• Quick Release Plugs for Hoses & Tubing:
  • Plug with Hose Barb: Features a ribbed hose tail (barb) designed to firmly grip flexible rubber or PVC hoses. Ideal for thick-walled air supply lines.
  • Plug with Compression Nut (or Anti-Kink Spring Guard): Equipped with a barb and a clamping nut for reliable fixation of polyurethane (PU) or polyamide (PA) tubing. When selecting, match both inner (ID) and outer (OD) tube diameters. Models with steel spring guards prevent thin-walled tubing from bending and kinking.
• Threaded Quick Release Plugs:
  • Features male (external) or female (internal) BSP/G threads for direct screwing into pneumatic tools, air blow guns, filter-regulator units, and valve manifolds.

Specialist supplies industrial metal quick release plugs manufactured from durable raw and nickel-plated brass, engineered for long service life under high working pressures up to 12 bar. You can also purchase ready-to-use spiral air hose assemblies equipped with pre-installed quick disconnect fittings.
