Quick Disconnect Couplers by Category

Couplers & Plugs

We offer pneumatic Couplers & Plugs in most standard body and thread sizes. Couplers and plugs can feature Aignep’s Multisocket (Universal) option, which gives couplers the capability of using one socket for 3 different plug options. Coupler body materials range from steel to nickel-plated brass.

AC Mini Coupler

AC Mini Coupler models include the 90111, 80112, 80211 and 80212 Alpha-Aignep AC Mini couplings. AC Mini Couplers feature a compact 5mm body size made from nickel-plated brass.

Free Angle Plugs

Free Angle Plugs Free-Angle® swivels 360° and pivots a full 45° preventing kinking, tangles and strain on both compressed air lines and operators. The Free-Angle plug reduces operator fatigue, minimizes twisting and provides an ergonomic connection to air tools and equipment. The safety lock connection also prevents disconnection.

Safety Couplers

Safety Couplers—featuring the ATP Safety-Slide™ model—offers a compact, lightweight design that reduces user fatigue when compared to a traditional coupler design. The Safety Slide™ eliminates the valve and spring often seen in traditional couplers, providing unrestricted flow and maximum tool performance.

TST Coupler

The TST Coupler 2 stage push button couplings are a great addition to any pneumatically-powered tool in industrial, automotive, and construction settings. The couplings connect simply by inserting a plug.

Advantages of Quick Disconnect Couplers

The primary advantage of QDCs is that they provide a fast and easy connection to pneumatic and hydraulic connections without the need for tools. Quick disconnect couplers are interchangeable with standard disconnects. This saves time during installation, maintenance and serviceability while making for easier assembly in tight spaces. Most QDCs are durable and can withstand harsh and sometimes corrosive environments, depending on their materials. Additionally, the quick disconnect design prevents fluid leakage. The added safety features prevent accidental disconnection.
