Installation of Pneumatic Couplings
Installation
It is important to be safe when installing quick disconnect couplings into a pneumatic circuit. Never install a
pneumatic coupling directly into an air tool, use a piece of hose that is at least 18" long, between the tool and the
coupling, to prevent damage to the coupling. To protect the operator, safety devices, such as a Safety Check Valve ( page 46)
and Safety Cable (page 39) should be installed in case there is a hose or coupling failure.
