What Are Air Compressor Fittings?
Compressor fittings are components that ensure a constant flow of air and pressure throughout an air compressor. Each fitting serves a distinct purpose, but they all play an important role in maintaining your machine's health and function.
Couplers
Air compressor couplers are used to connect individual customers to the compressor. These couplers are typically attached and detached by hand and screw easily onto a threaded, female quick connect port on the machine.
Couplers facilitate the connection of an air tank or air compressor to the airlines. When the air hose is disconnected, the coupler closes to prevent air from escaping.
Plugs
The plug is attached to the male quick connect on the machine. The male quick connects fitting gives you the capability to quickly change hoses without tools, saving time and money by reducing downtime.
Tees
A tee connects two hoses or customers to the same airline. This offers you greater flexibility in your application because it allows for more than one customer to run at a time, which can increase productivity.
Connectors
The connector is a metal or plastic fitting that attaches to the airline and allows you to change the air hose. The connector fits over the end of the airline and is secured with a set screw.
Elbows
An elbow connects two hoses at a right angle. This allows you to direct the airflow in a specific direction, which can be helpful when trying to avoid obstacles or keep the machine away from combustible materials.
Refrigerated Dryers
Refrigerated air dryers from 750 liters/min up to 6500 liter/min ex-stock. Larger ex overseas. Dew point 4°C under pressure. Automatic drain pre and manual drain after filters.
Screw Compressors
Screw compressors have no valves or other mechanical forces to cause imbalances unlike piston compressors.
Compressor Components
Airpower keeps universal spare parts for compressors. Pressure switches, non return valves and safety valves are universal to all compressors. Bottom entry filters/ regulators, electric motors and starters can be used for many makes of compressors.
