Infinity Safety Quick Coupler: 1/4″ Industrial Socket (Male NPT)
The “Zero-Whiplash” Solution for Safe Disconnection
Prioritize operator safety without sacrificing performance with the Infinity Safety Quick Coupler (1/4″ Industrial – Male NPT). Standard couplers can be dangerous; when disconnected under pressure, the compressed air trapped in the hose often causes the plug to eject violently—a phenomenon known as “hose whip”—which can injure personnel or damage nearby surfaces.
The Infinity Safety Coupler eliminates this risk entirely. Featuring a Two-Step Disconnection Technology, it safely vents the downstream pressure before releasing the plug. This ensures a smooth, silent, and recoil-free disconnection every single time.
Two-Step Release Technology
- Step 1 (Vent): Press the button once to close the supply valve and vent the air remaining in the tool/hose side. The plug remains locked in the socket while the pressure drops to zero.
- Step 2 (Release): Press the button a second time to release the now-depressurized plug. The tool slides out safely with no “pop” or dangerous kickback.
Key Features & Benefits
- OSHA Compliance: Helps facilities meet safety standards regarding compressed air devices. By eliminating the projectile force of disconnecting tools, you create a safer environment for your entire team.
- Industrial Standard (M-Style): Compatible with standard 1/4″ Industrial Interchange plugs (MIL-C-4109 / ISO 6150 B). You get advanced safety features without needing to buy proprietary plugs—it works with the tools you already own.
- Push-Button Operation: Ergonomic and easy to use. The composite push-button release is smoother and more intuitive than the traditional sleeve-retract motion, especially when wearing gloves.
- Composite Body Construction: The body is made from a high-strength, impact-resistant technopolymer that is lighter than metal couplers. It resists scratching delicate surfaces (perfect for paint and body shops) and is non-sparking.
- Male NPT Connection: Features a rigid Male NPT thread for direct installation into wall blocks, FRL units, or hose reel outlets.
