Quick Coupler Universal Socket Hose Barb

Infinity Quick Coupler: Hose Barb Socket (Industrial M-Style)

The All-in-One Solution for Hose Termination

Eliminate bulky adapters and create lighter, safer air lines with the Infinity Hose Barb Quick Coupler. This integrated unit combines a premium 1/4″ Industrial socket directly with a hose barb tail, allowing you to install a quick-connect outlet directly onto the end of a rubber air hose.

Standard setups often require a threaded hose barb screwed into a threaded coupler—adding weight, length, and potential leak points. The Infinity Hose Barb Socket streamlines this into a single, compact component, making it ideal for extension cords, hose reels, and mobile air lines.

Key Features & Benefits

• Streamlined One-Piece Design: By fusing the coupler body and the hose barb, this unit is significantly shorter and lighter than a two-piece threaded assembly. This reduces operator fatigue when dragging hoses across the floor and minimizes the risk of the fitting snagging on obstacles.
• Leak-Proof Integrity: Fewer threaded connections mean fewer places for air to escape. This solid-body construction removes the need for thread tape or sealant, ensuring a permanent airtight seal.
• Industrial Standard (M-Style): Features the universal 1/4″ Industrial Interchange profile (MIL-C-4109), making it compatible with the standard plugs found on almost every air tool in North America.
• Six-Ball Locking Mechanism: Superior to cheap consumer-grade couplers. The 6-ball retention system creates a secure, balanced grip on the plug, preventing wobble and extending the life of the internal seals.
• Rugged Durability: Constructed from nickel-plated brass and hardened steel to resist corrosion and withstand the physical abuse of being dragged across concrete shop floors.
• Secure Hose Grip: The multi-ridge barb profile bites firmly into the inner wall of the hose. When secured with a proper clamp, it provides a blow-out proof connection even under heavy tension.
